GJ 667 C b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 23.6 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 10.6, has spectral type M1.5 V and spans roughly 2.25 Earth radii.
It orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, completing a lap in less time than Mercury takes.
At apparent magnitude 10.6, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, GJ 667 C 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.
GJ 667 C b scores 66 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 12 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Nearby (<25 ly), Sub-Neptune, Tidally locked, Richly packed system, Orbits a red dwarf and Two suns in its sky — 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.
