2MASS J22501512+2325342 b is an epic exoplanet. It lies about 186.7 light-years from Earth, shines at apparent magnitude 14.78, has spectral type M3 and has an equilibrium temperature near 1,600 K.
Its surface is almost certainly an ocean of molten rock, kept liquid by the star it hugs.
At apparent magnitude 14.78, it takes a larger telescope or a long-exposure image to capture.
Like any astronomical target, 2MASS J22501512+2325342 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.
2MASS J22501512+2325342 b scores 59 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the epic tier. Another 19 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Gas giant, Lava world, Directly imaged, Orbits a red dwarf and Orbits beyond Neptune's distance — 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.
