Trivia
What makes it special
- Goldilocks zone. Sits where it's neither too hot nor too cold — liquid water could exist.
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 549.3 thousand years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 48.8 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 313 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 31.3 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1995.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 62.5 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 15.6 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 1.1× the width of Earth.
- Mass. About 1.3× the mass of Earth.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.1× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. A surprisingly temperate -23°C average.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Calar Alto Observatory using the radial velocity method.
