Trivia

Could we get there?

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

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 7.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 687.4 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 4403 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 440 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1586.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 881 years round-trip.

Standing on it

A year here. A full year lasts just 15.1 Earth days.

By the numbers

Size. About 2.5× the width of Earth.
Volume. About 15.1 Earths could fit inside it.
Mass. About 13.6× the mass of Earth.
Your weight. You'd weigh about 2.2× your Earth weight standing here.
Temperature. A scorching 398°C on average.

How we found it

Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

Cosmic context

Crowded system. One of at least 2 planets orbiting its star.

Why TOI-4311 c is a common exoplanet

TOI-4311 c scores 20 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 4 points would lift it into a rarer tier.

That score comes from 4 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Sub-Neptune, Multi-planet system and Found by TESS — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
