Trivia

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Its density says rock, though lighter than Earth's mix: probably less iron, or a thick shell of water and ice over the top.
  • Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • How to spot it. At magnitude 11.8 you'll want a small backyard telescope.
  • Northern sky. It rides the northern half of the sky — an easier target the further north you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around July — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 22.8 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).

About Kepler-1514 b

Kepler-1514 b is an uncommon exoplanet. It lies about 1,295.8 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 11.77, has an equilibrium temperature near 388 K and spans roughly 12.42 Earth radii.

Its density says rock, though lighter than Earth's mix: probably less iron, or a thick shell of water and ice over the top.

How to see it

At apparent magnitude 11.77, a small backyard telescope will bring it into view.

Like any astronomical target, Kepler-1514 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-1514 b is an uncommon exoplanet

Kepler-1514 b scores 24 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 10 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 5 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Distant (over 1,000 light-years), Gas giant, Multi-planet system 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.
