2MASS J22501512+2325342 b

Brown DwarfUninhabitable186 light years awayFound 2018

2MASS J22501512+2325342 b, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2018). Measured: 9530 Earth masses, 518 AU, a 3352 K M-type star. Composition inferred from a mass of 9530 Earths, which is giant territory whatever its 5.66x density suggests, with an assumed 24-hour day — rotation cannot be measured for exoplanets. Note: TerraForge comes out at 2199 K against the archive's 1600 K, because that figure is the planet's own heat, not the star's. It receives almost no sunlight out at this distance and is still glowing from its formation — TerraForge only warms worlds with starlight, so it has no way to model a planet heated from within.

Brown Dwarf

Magnetic FieldNone Activity
Why is this a Brown Dwarf?Your planet has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.
Classification Criteria:
Composition doesn't match standard planet typesMass: 9530.0x EarthTemperature: 2199K

The TerraForge exoplanet catalog: 5,572 real exoplanets run through the simulation, with a search field and rendered worlds grouped by type

New: The Exoplanet Catalog 🔭

Every confirmed planet NASA has measured well enough to build — 5,572 of them — is now in here, and none of them arrived with a label. Their real mass, radius, orbit and star go through the same simulation that runs everything you make, and it decides what each one is: gas giant, lava world, ocean, ice. Sixteen come out Earth-like. Find TRAPPIST-1e, stand on its surface, and see what a red dwarf's light actually looks like from the ground.
