EPIC 212499991 b is a trash exoplanet. It lies about 924 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 13.67, spans roughly 1.6 Earth radii and weighs about 3.19 Earth masses.
It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
At apparent magnitude 13.67, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, EPIC 212499991 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.
EPIC 212499991 b scores 13 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 2 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet and Super-Earth — 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.
