HIP 65 A b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 201.5 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 11, has spectral type K4 V and has an equilibrium temperature near 1,411 K.
Its surface is almost certainly an ocean of molten rock, kept liquid by the star it hugs.
At apparent magnitude 11, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.
Like any astronomical target, HIP 65 A 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.
HIP 65 A b scores 53 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 25 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Lava world, Ultra-short period, Found by TESS and Two suns in its sky — 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.
