GJ 3090 c
GJ 3090 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 73.3 ly from Earth in the constellation Phoenix, discovered in 2026 by Multiple Facilities.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Standing on GJ 3090 c, you would weigh roughly almost exactly what you weigh on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 5.2× wider than ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. It is likely tidally locked, so that sun never moves in the sky: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night. A year passes in just 16 days, and at an estimated 134°C (273°F) it is blistering.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.0 times. A child would grow up much as they would back home.
A playful thought experiment from this world’s gravity, not a prediction about any real person. No human has ever grown up off Earth, so no one truly knows; the direction (taller in low gravity, shorter and stockier in high) follows how growing bodies respond to weight.
Hear how a voice sounds herea computed acoustic demo
Your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 134°C (273°F), sound would travel roughly 19% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

- !Persistently hot at around 134°C (273°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.01 times, so you would move much as you do here.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

What is the gravity on GJ 3090 c?
GJ 3090 c's surface gravity is at least 1.0 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.
How much would you weigh on GJ 3090 c?
Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 152 pounds on GJ 3090 c.
How far is GJ 3090 c from Earth?
GJ 3090 c lies about 73.3 light-years from Earth.
How long would it take to get to GJ 3090 c?
At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 114,325 years.
How hot is GJ 3090 c?
GJ 3090 c's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 134°C (273°F).
How long is a year on GJ 3090 c?
GJ 3090 c completes one orbit of its star in 16 days.
