Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 23.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 2.1 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 13.2 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 1319 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 707.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 2639 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 7.4 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. Around 95% of Earth's width.
- Mass. About 0.8× the mass of Earth.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 0.9× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. Around 577°C — hotter than a self-cleaning oven.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Kepler using the transit method.
Cosmic context
- Crowded system. One of at least 3 planets orbiting its star.
