Kepler-68 d is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 470.2 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.08, has an equilibrium temperature near 261 K and spans roughly 13.9 Earth radii.
Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist on a surface here.
At apparent magnitude 10.08, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, Kepler-68 d 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.
Kepler-68 d scores 65 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 13 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone, Gas giant, Multi-planet system, Orbits a Sun-like star and Two suns in its sky — 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.
