Wolf 1061 d
Wolf 1061 d is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 14.0 ly from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus, discovered in 2015 by La Silla Observatory.
Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.
Standing on Wolf 1061 d, you would weigh roughly about 6% more than you do on Earth. Its red dwarf looks 0.65× as wide as ours, bathing the surface in deep orange light. A year passes in just 217 days, and at an estimated -143°C (-225°F) it is colder than almost anywhere in the solar system.

If your children grew up herea playful thought experiment
Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.1 times. A child would grow up much as they would back home.
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 deep and slow, dropped to a low bass.
Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -143°C (-225°F), sound would travel roughly 33% slower than on Earth, so your voice would sound deep and slow, dropped to a low bass. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.
A real voice sample, pitch-shifted (tempo held constant) to suggest the acoustics: a playful approximation, not a precise simulation. Voice: Lingua Libre / Vealhurl, CC BY-SA 4.0.
- !Deeply frozen at around -143°C (-225°F), far below the freezing point of water.
- Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.06 times, so you would move much as you do here.
