Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 95.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 8.5 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 54.6 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 5456 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 10.9 thousand years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 0.8 Earth days.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Kepler using the orbital brightness modulation method.
Cosmic context
- Crowded system. One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.

Why KIC 10001893 d is a rare exoplanet
KIC 10001893 d scores 38 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 8 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Ultra-short period, Multi-planet system, Found by Kepler 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.
