HD 176986 d
HD 176986 d is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 90.6 ly from Earth in the constellation Aquila, discovered in 2026 by Multiple Observatories.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Standing on HD 176986 d, you would weigh roughly about 9% more than you do on Earth. Its orange dwarf looks 2.8× wider than ours, bathing the surface in amber-orange light. A year passes in just 61 days, and at an estimated 90°C (194°F) it is warm.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.1 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 90°C (194°F), sound would travel roughly 12% 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 90°C (194°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.09 times, so you would move much as you do here.
