TOI-654.01

TOI-654.01 is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 188 ly from Earth in the constellation Leo, 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-654.01, you would weigh about 54% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 22.0× 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 1.5 days, and at an estimated 521°C (970°F) it is furnace-hot.

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 high and thin, almost cartoonish.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about 521°C (970°F), sound would travel roughly 66% 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.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
☆☆☆☆
Do not travel
  • !Furnace-hot at around 521°C (970°F), with no liquid water and no shade anywhere.
  • !Noticeably heavy, 1.5 times Earth's gravity.
  • !Its star delivers about 65 times the sunlight Earth gets, a blinding, sterilizing glare.
  • !Likely tidally locked: one hemisphere in endless day, the other in permanent night.
