Trivia

What makes it special

Goldilocks zone. Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.

Could we get there?

Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 164.7 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1054 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 105 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1921.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 211 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 87.2 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 4.5× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 94.2 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. About 18.8× the mass of Earth.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.9× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A surprisingly temperate 12°C average.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Las Campanas Observatory using the radial velocity method.

About HIP 71135 b

HIP 71135 b is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 105.4 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 285 K, spans roughly 4.55 Earth radii and weighs about 18.8 Earth masses.

Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HIP 71135 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 HIP 71135 b is a rare exoplanet

HIP 71135 b scores 39 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, In the habitable zone and Neptune-like — 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.
