KOI-4777.01
KOI-4777.01 is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 562 ly from Earth in the constellation Lyra, discovered in 2022 by Kepler.
Transit: spotted by the tiny, repeating dip in its star’s light each time the planet crosses in front of it (what that means).
Its red dwarf looks 49.1× 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 9.9 hours, and at an estimated 907°C (1664°F) it is furnace-hot.
Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 99.20 M⊕, radius 0.51 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 4120.5 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use KOI-4777.01 in gravity rankings or weight calculations.

Your voice would sound high and thin, almost cartoonish.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 907°C (1664°F), sound would travel roughly 102% 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.

- !Furnace-hot at around 907°C (1664°F), with no liquid water and no shade anywhere.
- !Its star delivers about 320 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
- !Earth-similarity index 0.08: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
