HD 88986 is 109 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this G2 V star; the first was found in 2023 by radial velocity (Haute-Provence Observatory).
Fly there in 3DHD 88986 b takes 146.1 days 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 5,861 K, 2.5 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 1.49 to 2.62 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.
The light you see left 109 years ago, around 1920.
