ROXs 12 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 445.7 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 14.76, has spectral type M0 and has an equilibrium temperature near 13 K.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 14.76, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, ROXs 12 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.
ROXs 12 b scores 66 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Eccentric orbit, Directly imaged, Two suns in its sky 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.
