WISPIT 2 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 440 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 11.6, has an equilibrium temperature near 33 K and spans roughly 17.93 Earth radii.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 11.6, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, WISPIT 2 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.
WISPIT 2 b scores 51 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 27 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Multi-planet system, Directly imaged and Orbits beyond Neptune's distance — 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.
