UCAC3 113-933 b
A confirmed world orbiting UCAC3 113-933, 171.5 light-years away.
A gas giant
12.10 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). With 6674.4 Earth masses packed into that size, its density points to rock and iron rather than gas.
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about -271 °C. Deep-freeze territory, colder than Antarctica's worst.
Its sun
Its star is a red dwarf (3,864 K surface), type M0: small, dim, flare-prone, and destined to outlive the Sun many times over.
How far is that, really?
At 172 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 1854. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 3,034,323 years to get there.
How we found it
It was directly imaged, one of the rare planets actually photographed as its own point of light, possible only for young, hot, wide-orbiting giants. The discovery was announced in 2024 from Multiple Observatories.
Everything above is computed from the archive’s measured values for this planet. Where a quantity is missing, the statement is omitted rather than guessed.
About this record
The measured values come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and any missing value has not been determined yet; the Atlas never fills gaps with guesses. More standout worlds: Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1e, K2-18 b, 55 Cancri e, and the detection methods that found them all.
