OGLE-2019-BLG-1053L b
OGLE-2019-BLG-1053L b is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 22,179 ly from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius, discovered in 2021 by KMTNet.
Microlensing: spotted when its gravity briefly magnified the light of a more distant star.
Standing on OGLE-2019-BLG-1053L b, you would weigh about 30% more than you do on Earth.
What these mean: surface gravity · tidal locking · equilibrium temperature
If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
A little heavier than home, at 1.3 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.95x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 6 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 much as it does on Earth.
We do not yet have a temperature for this world, and its atmosphere is unknown, so its acoustics cannot be modelled. In Earth-like air a human voice carries as you know it, and without the temperature that is as far as the physics will take us.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, 1.30 times, so you would move much as you do here.
