KIC 7917485 b is a common exoplanet. It lies about 4,510.4 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 13.17, has spectral type A and spans roughly 12.4 Earth radii.
Denser than Earth — a solid world of rock and iron, with no meaningful atmosphere to speak of by mass.
At apparent magnitude 13.17, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, KIC 7917485 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.
KIC 7917485 b scores 18 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant and Found by Kepler — 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.
