Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 13.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.2 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 7502 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 750 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1276.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 1500 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 0.3 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 13.9× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 2686 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 253× Earth's mass — about 0.8 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.3× your Earth weight standing here.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Parkes Observatory using the pulsar timing method.

How to see it
Like any astronomical target, PSR J2322-2650 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 PSR J2322-2650 b is a common exoplanet
PSR J2322-2650 b scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant and Ultra-short period — 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.
