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.
