AT2021ueyL b
Gas GiantUninhabitable3390 light years awayFound 2025
AT2021ueyL b, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2025). Measured: 426 Earth masses, 4.01 AU, a 3680 K M-type star. Composition inferred from a mass of 426 Earths, which is giant territory whatever its 0.17x density suggests, with an assumed 24-hour day — rotation cannot be measured for exoplanets.

Published by the NASA Exoplanet Archive. This star’s luminosity has not been published, so this world’s temperature and habitability score fall back to a typical M-type star.
Gas Giant
Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Gas Giant?Your planet has 86.0% hydrogen and helium, combined with a mass of 426.0x Earth, which exceeds the gas giant threshold.
Gas giants form when massive cores capture enormous atmospheres of light gases. They typically form beyond the 'frost line' where volatiles can condense.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Hydrogen + Helium: 86.0% (>60% required)✓ Mass: 426.0x Earth (>10x required)

Frozen world - minimal potential for complex life
atmosphere30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants
water15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous
Organic Chemistry80
Core organic elements (CHNO) present
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
