PDS 70 c is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 368.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 12.03, has spectral type K7 and has an equilibrium temperature near 1,054 K.
Lighter than Neptune — a puffed-up ball of hydrogen and helium with no surface anywhere on it to stand on.
At apparent magnitude 12.03, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, PDS 70 c 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.
PDS 70 c scores 53 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Hot Jupiter, Multi-planet system, Directly imaged 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.
