Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 44.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 4 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 25.6 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 2557 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 5113 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 264 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 2.2× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 10.4 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. About 5.4× the mass of Earth.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.1× your Earth weight standing here.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Multiple Observatories using the transit timing variations method.
Cosmic context
- Crowded system. One of at least 4 planets orbiting its star.
