AB Aur b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 528.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 7.08, has an equilibrium temperature near 84 K and spans roughly 12.5 Earth radii.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 7.08, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, AB Aur 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.
AB Aur b scores 59 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 19 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Directly imaged, Orbits a hot blue-white star 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.
