TOI-2458 b
TOI-2458 b is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 368 ly from Earth in the constellation Orion, discovered in 2024 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 TOI-2458 b, you would weigh about 66% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow-white star looks 27.0× wider than ours, bathing the surface in bright white 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 3.7 days, and at an estimated 1236°C (2257°F) it is hot enough to melt rock.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
A little heavier than home, at 1.7 times Earth's gravity. A child raised here would likely grow a little shorter and sturdier than their Earth-raised parents, about 0.90x as tall as on Earth: a 5 ft 10 in adult could stand nearer 5 ft 3 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 high and thin, almost cartoonish.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 1236°C (2257°F), sound would travel roughly 129% 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.

- !At about 1236°C (2257°F), the daytime side glows: metals run liquid and any atmosphere is being torn away.
- !Noticeably heavy, 1.7 times Earth's gravity.
- !Its star delivers about 865 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
- !Earth-similarity index 0.14: this world has almost nothing in common with our own.
- !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
