Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 26.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 2.3 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 14.9 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 1491 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 535.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 2982 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 44.4 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 10.9× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 1305 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 346× Earth's mass — about 1.1 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 2.9× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. Around 590°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

About 10.9× the width of Earth.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, TIC 147027702 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.

Why TIC 147027702 b is a common exoplanet

TIC 147027702 b scores 23 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Found by TESS 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.
