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. ≈ 2.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 239.7 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1535 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 154 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1872.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 307 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 120 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 11.9× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 1685 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 8581× Earth's mass — about 27 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 60.6× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Denser than solid iron.
Temperature. A frigid -219°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by W. M. Keck Observatory using the imaging method.

About PZ Tel b

PZ Tel b is an anomaly exoplanet. It lies about 153.5 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 54 K, spans roughly 11.9 Earth radii and weighs about 8,581.37 Earth masses.

A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, PZ Tel 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 PZ Tel b is an anomaly exoplanet

PZ Tel b scores 70 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the anomaly tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world, Eccentric orbit, 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.
