XO-3
XO-3 is a star in the constellation Camelopardalis. The star has a magnitude of 10 and is not visible to the naked eye but is visible through a small telescope.[3] A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at the MMT Observatory was negative.[8]

In 2007 the gas giant exoplanet XO-3b was discovered by the XO Telescope using the transit method. This object may be classed as brown dwarf because of its high mass.[3]

gollark: It's like saying English is machine-readable because NLP libraries can, with great effort, generate somewhat accurate parse trees.
gollark: I mean, it can be parsed and rendered, yes, but you can't effectively get relevant information out.
gollark: That's not very machine readable though.
gollark: Also, scraping would probably be problematic, maybe let people host some sort of machine-readable data file your build process can read from.
gollark: I should work on a potatos.madefor.cc website.
