Rocky world

LTT 1445 A b

LTT 1445 A b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 22.4 ly from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, discovered in 2019 by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

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

Standing on LTT 1445 A b, you would weigh about 52% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 7.1× 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 5.4 days, and at an estimated 158°C (316°F) it is blistering.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
EARTH HEIGHT≈ 0.92xEARTH-RAISEDRAISED HERE
about 0.92x as tall as on Earth · a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 4 in

A little heavier than home, at 1.5 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.92x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 4 in, with denser bones.

Bones
Thick and dense
More weight to bear forces the skeleton to grow denser and stronger all through childhood.

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 158°C (316°F), sound would travel roughly 22% faster than on Earth, so your voice would sound noticeably higher and reedier. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Persistently hot at around 158°C (316°F), well above anything you would call comfortable.
  • !Noticeably heavy, 1.5 times Earth's gravity.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
