Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 21 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.9 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 12 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 1197 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 829.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 2394 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 18.1 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.8× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2097 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 1598× Earth's mass — about 5 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 9.8× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A scorching 415°C on average.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

Cosmic context

Wild orbit. Its highly elliptical path swings between scorching and frozen each lap.

About TOI-3362 b

TOI-3362 b is an uncommon exoplanet. It lies about 1,197 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 688 K, spans roughly 12.8 Earth radii and weighs about 1,598.36 Earth masses.

Its highly elliptical path swings between scorching and frozen each lap.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, TOI-3362 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 TOI-3362 b is an uncommon exoplanet

TOI-3362 b scores 32 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 1 point would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Eccentric orbit, Found by TESS 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.
