Trivia

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 27.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 2.5 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 15.9 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 1585 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 441.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 3170 years round-trip.

Standing on it

  • A year here. A full year lasts just 68.2 Earth days.

By the numbers

  • Size. About 1.8× the width of Earth.
  • Volume. About 5.4 Earths could fit inside it.
  • Mass. About 3.7× the mass of Earth.
  • Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.2× your Earth weight standing here.
  • Temperature. A scorching 132°C on average.

How we found it

  • Discovery. Found by Kepler using the transit method.

Cosmic context

  • Crowded system. One of at least 4 planets orbiting its star.
