1RXS J160929.1-210524 b scores 49 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 19 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Hot Jupiter, Lava world 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.
