Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 103.2 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 661 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 66.1 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1960.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 132 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts just 3.9 Earth days.

By the numbers

  • Mass. Roughly 1523× Earth's mass — about 4.8 Jupiters.
  • Temperature. Around 562°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.

How we found it

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

Cosmic context

  • Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

About BD-06 1339 b

BD-06 1339 b is a trash exoplanet. It lies about 66.1 light-years from Earth, has an equilibrium temperature near 835 K, weighs about 1,523.03 Earth masses and completes an orbit every 3.87 days.

One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

How to see it

Like any astronomical target, BD-06 1339 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 BD-06 1339 b is a trash exoplanet

BD-06 1339 b scores 11 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the trash tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 2 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet and Multi-planet system — 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.
