Trivia

What makes it special

  • Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.
  • Heavyweight. Packed denser than solid iron.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 243.4 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 1559 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 156 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1870.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 312 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts about 20.1 Earth years.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 12.2× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 1816 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. Roughly 4868× Earth's mass — about 15.3 Jupiters.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 32.7× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Density. Denser than solid iron.
  • Temperature. A frigid -166°C — colder than dry ice.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the radial velocity method.

Cosmic context

  • Crowded system. One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.
