Rocky world

TOI-5388.01

TOI-5388.01 is a confirmed rocky exoplanet 60.4 ly from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor, 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 (what that means).

Its red dwarf looks 12.3× 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 2.6 days, and at an estimated 215°C (419°F) it is blistering.

Catalog values (NASA Exoplanet Archive): mass 2.20 M⊕, radius 0.99 R⊕. Its catalog mass and radius imply a density of 12.5 g/cm³, denser than compressed iron, so they cannot both be right, and gravityfinder does not use TOI-5388.01 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 215°C (419°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.

Cosmic travel advisory
★★★☆☆
For seasoned travelers
  • !Blistering at about 215°C (419°F), far too hot for liquid water on the surface.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
