Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 17.4 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 1.5 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 9906 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 991 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1035.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 1981 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 259 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 13.9× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 2686 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. Roughly 260× Earth's mass — about 0.8 Jupiters.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.3× your Earth weight standing here.
- Density. Less dense than water — drop it in a big enough ocean and it would float.
- Temperature. A scorching 116°C on average.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by W. M. Keck Observatory using the radial velocity method.
Cosmic context
- Crowded system. One of at least 4 planets orbiting its star.
