Trivia

What makes it special

  • Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.
  • Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 3 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 267.8 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 1715 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 172 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1854.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 343 years round-trip.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 12.1× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 1772 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 6674× Earth's mass — about 21 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 45.6× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Density. Denser than solid iron.
  • Temperature. A frigid -271°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

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

Why UCAC3 113-933 b is an epic exoplanet

UCAC3 113-933 b scores 51 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 17 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Denser than iron and Directly imaged — 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.
