GJ 3378 b

GJ 3378 b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 25.2 ly from Earth in the constellation Camelopardalis, discovered in 2026 by Mauna Kea Observatory.

Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.

Standing on GJ 3378 b, you would weigh roughly about 32% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 2.8× 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 21 days, and at an estimated -1°C (30°F) it is cold.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 0.95xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
about 0.95x as tall as on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 6 in

A little heavier than home, at about 1.3 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.95x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 6 in, with denser bones.

Bones
Thick and dense
More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.

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 much as it does on Earth.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -1°C (30°F), sound would travel close to its Earth speed, so your voice would sound much as it does on Earth. The real atmosphere is unknown.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★★
Highly recommended
  • Surface temperatures near -1°C (30°F) fall in the range where liquid water is at least possible.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.32 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • A high Earth-similarity index of 0.91, among the more Earth-like worlds known.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

Common questions

What is the gravity on GJ 3378 b?

GJ 3378 b's surface gravity is at least 1.3 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.

How much would you weigh on GJ 3378 b?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 198 pounds on GJ 3378 b.

How far is GJ 3378 b from Earth?

GJ 3378 b lies about 25.2 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to GJ 3378 b?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 39,284 years.

How hot is GJ 3378 b?

GJ 3378 b's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -1°C (30°F).

Is GJ 3378 b habitable?

GJ 3378 b orbits near its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where liquid water could be stable, and its Earth-similarity index is 0.91. That makes it worth studying, but it is not evidence of life: we have no measurement of its atmosphere, water, or surface.

How long is a year on GJ 3378 b?

GJ 3378 b completes one orbit of its star in 21 days.
