Trivia

What makes it special

Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.

Could we get there?

Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 154.5 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 989 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 98.9 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1927.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 198 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts about 11.9 Earth years.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.8× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2097 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 1716× Earth's mass — about 5.4 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 10.5× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A frigid -157°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by La Silla Observatory using the radial velocity method.

A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, HD 75302 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 HD 75302 b is an uncommon exoplanet

HD 75302 b scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 6 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world and Long-period world — 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.
