Trivia
What makes it special
- Frozen world. A deep-frozen world far from its star's warmth.
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 1.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 107.9 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 691 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 69.1 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1957.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 138 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts about 11.9 Earth years.
By the numbers
- Size. About 13× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 2197 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 1335× Earth's mass — about 4.2 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 7.9× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. A frigid -237°C — colder than dry ice.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Leoncito Astronomical Complex using the eclipse timing variations method.
