Kepler-983 b

Kepler-983 b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 2,330 ly from Earth in the constellation Lyra, discovered in 2016 by Kepler.

ESI 0.472,330 lyDiscovered in 2016 by Kepler

Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it.

Standing on Kepler-983 b, you would weigh roughly about 11% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow-white star looks 3.4× wider than ours, bathing the surface in bright white light. A year passes in just 60 days, and at an estimated 212°C (413°F) it is blistering.

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.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 212°C (413°F), sound would travel roughly 30% 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.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Blistering at about 212°C (413°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, about 1.11 times, so you would move much as you do here.
