Trivia

What makes it special

Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.

Could we get there?

Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 26.6 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 2.4 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 15.1 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 1514 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 512.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 3028 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 102 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.4× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 1907 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 3426× Earth's mass — about 10.8 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 22.3× your Earth weight standing here.
Density. Denser than solid iron.
Temperature. Around 1012°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Roque de los Muchachos Observatory using the radial velocity method.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, TYC 4282-00605-1 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 TYC 4282-00605-1 b is an epic exoplanet

TYC 4282-00605-1 b scores 47 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 21 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Hot Jupiter, Denser than iron 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.
