HIP 54515 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 270.1 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 6.81, has spectral type A5 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 101 K.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 6.81, it is an easy target for binoculars.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 54515 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.
HIP 54515 b scores 57 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 21 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world, Directly imaged and Orbits a hot blue-white star — 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.
