CFHTWIR-Oph 98 b is an epic exoplanet. It has spectral type M9-L1, has an equilibrium temperature near 1,800 K, spans roughly 20.85 Earth radii and weighs about 2,479.06 Earth masses.
Its surface is almost certainly an ocean of molten rock, kept liquid by the star it hugs.
Like any astronomical target, CFHTWIR-Oph 98 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.
CFHTWIR-Oph 98 b scores 69 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 9 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 7 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Lava world, Long-period world, Directly imaged, Orbits a red dwarf and Orbits beyond Neptune's distance — 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.
