Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 68.1 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 6.1 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 38.8 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 3876 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 7753 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 240 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 12.9× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 2147 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. Roughly 1587× Earth's mass — about 5 Jupiters.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 9.5× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A scorching 142°C on average.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Kepler using the eclipse timing variations method.

About Kepler-1660 AB b

Kepler-1660 AB b is a common exoplanet. It lies about 3,876.5 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 415 K, spans roughly 12.9 Earth radii and weighs about 1,586.6 Earth masses.

About 12.9× the width of Earth.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, Kepler-1660 AB 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 Kepler-1660 AB b is a common exoplanet

Kepler-1660 AB b scores 22 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 2 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Found by Kepler 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.
