Ross 458 c is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 37.5 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 9.76, has spectral type M2 and has an equilibrium temperature near 4 K.
A deep-frozen world, too far from its star's warmth for anything to stay liquid.
At apparent magnitude 9.76, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, Ross 458 c 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.
Ross 458 c scores 59 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 19 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Frozen world, Circumbinary (orbits both stars), Directly imaged 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.
