Trivia

What makes it special

  • Frozen world. A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Denser than Earth — a solid world of rock and iron, with no meaningful atmosphere to speak of by mass.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • How to spot it. At magnitude 10.2 you'll want a small backyard telescope.
  • Southern sky. It rides the southern half of the sky — an easier target the further south you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around January — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).

About HIP 35965 b

HIP 35965 b is an uncommon exoplanet. It lies about 163.6 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.18, has an equilibrium temperature near 49 K and spans roughly 12.6 Earth radii.

A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.

How to see it

At apparent magnitude 10.18, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.

Like any astronomical target, HIP 35965 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.

Why HIP 35965 b is an uncommon exoplanet

HIP 35965 b scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world and Long-period world — 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.
