Trivia

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Too light to be solid rock and too heavy to be all gas: most likely a deep global ocean or a thick steamy envelope over a rocky core.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • Southern sky. It rides the southern half of the sky — an easier target the further south you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around June — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 334.1 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 29.7 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 190.1 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.

Why OGLE-2019-BLG-0362L b is an uncommon exoplanet

OGLE-2019-BLG-0362L b scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant and Found by microlensing — 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.
