HD 114783 is 68.7 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this K0 star; the first was found in 2001 by radial velocity (W. M. Keck Observatory).
Fly there in 3DHD 114783 c takes 11.9 years to go round its star once.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
For a star of 5,135 K, 0.42 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.64 to 1.16 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
