Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 12.4 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.1 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 7078 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 708 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1318.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 1416 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 6.2 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 5.6× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 178 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. About 27× the mass of Earth.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.9× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Less dense than water — drop it in a big enough ocean and it would float.
Temperature. Around 777°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

Why TIC 434398831 c is a common exoplanet

TIC 434398831 c scores 19 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 5 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Neptune-like, Multi-planet system and Found by TESS — 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.
