Gl 725 A b

Gl 725 A b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 11.5 ly from Earth in the constellation Draco, discovered in 2025 by Multiple Observatories.

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

Standing on Gl 725 A b, you would weigh roughly about 27% more than you do on Earth. Its red 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 11 days, and at an estimated 103°C (217°F) it is warm.

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.3 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 103°C (217°F), sound would travel roughly 14% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • !Persistently hot at around 103°C (217°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.27 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.

Common questions

What is the gravity on Gl 725 A b?

Gl 725 A 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 Gl 725 A b?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 190 pounds on Gl 725 A b.

How far is Gl 725 A b from Earth?

Gl 725 A b lies about 11.5 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to Gl 725 A b?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 17,913 years.

How hot is Gl 725 A b?

Gl 725 A b's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about 103°C (217°F).

How long is a year on Gl 725 A b?

Gl 725 A b completes one orbit of its star in 11 days.
