Trivia

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 28.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 2.6 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 16.5 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 1647 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 379.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 3294 years round-trip.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 4.7× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 105 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. About 20× the mass of Earth.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.9× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Temperature. A scorching 71°C on average.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the microlensing method.

Why TCP J05074264+2447555 b is an uncommon exoplanet

TCP J05074264+2447555 b scores 31 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Neptune-like, Found by microlensing and Distant (>1000 ly) — 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.
