2MASS J21252752-8138278 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 111.3 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 11.8, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,616 K and spans roughly 12.4 Earth radii.
Its surface is almost certainly an ocean of molten rock, kept liquid by the star it hugs.
At apparent magnitude 11.8, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, 2MASS J21252752-8138278 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.
2MASS J21252752-8138278 b scores 51 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 27 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Lava world, Directly imaged and Orbits beyond Neptune's distance — 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.
