TOI-1052 b

Ice GiantUninhabitable424 light years awayFound 2023

TOI-1052 b, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2023). Measured: 16.9 Earth masses, 0.091 AU, a 6146 K F-type star. Composition inferred from a measured bulk density of 0.71x Earth's, which is rock and iron, with a day locked to its 9.1-day year, as anything orbiting this close would be.

Ice Giant

Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant?Your planet has moderate mass (16.9x Earth) with significant water, carbon, and nitrogen content, characteristic of ice giants.
Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune have icy interiors with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but not enough to be classified as gas giants.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Mass: 16.9x Earth (5-20x range)✓ Water/Carbon/Nitrogen rich composition

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.
