HD 85426 c
HD 85426 c is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 176 ly from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor, discovered in 2026 by Multiple Observatories.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Standing on HD 85426 c, you would weigh roughly almost exactly what you weigh on Earth. Bathing the surface in warm white light. A year passes in just 36 days, and at an estimated 367°C (692°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 high and thin, almost cartoonish.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 367°C (692°F), sound would travel roughly 49% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

- !Blistering at about 367°C (692°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.01 times, so you would move much as you do here.
