HD 213885 b is a Super-Earth exoplanet (a planet larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune), about 1.7 times the radius of Earth. Its scorching equilibrium temperature of 2128 K (1855°C) makes it far too hot for liquid water. Despite its name, Super-Earths are not necessarily habitable; the term refers only to size. The planet completes one orbit around its star every 24 hours. It was discovered in 2019 using the transit method. It orbits the G-type star HD 213885, located approximately 48 parsecs (157 light-years) from Earth.
