Trivia

What makes it special

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

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.5 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 223.2 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 1429 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 143 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1883.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 286 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts about 13.7 Earth years.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 12.7× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 2048 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 2064× Earth's mass — about 6.5 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 12.8× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Temperature. A frigid -177°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by La Silla Observatory using the radial velocity method.

Cosmic context

  • Crowded system. One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.

About HD 27894 d

HD 27894 d is a rare exoplanet. It lies about 142.9 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 96 K, spans roughly 12.7 Earth radii and weighs about 2,063.66 Earth masses.

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

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HD 27894 d 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 HD 27894 d is a rare exoplanet

HD 27894 d scores 33 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the rare tier. Another 13 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Long-period world and Multi-planet system — 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.
