NGC 2682 Sand 1429 b is an uncommon exoplanet. It lies about 2,781.4 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 12.7, has spectral type F9.5 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 683 K.
It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
At apparent magnitude 12.7, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, NGC 2682 Sand 1429 b is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
NGC 2682 Sand 1429 b scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 11 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant and Orbits a Sun-like star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
