Worth knowing

HIP 94235 b goes round its star every 7.71 days, 11 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

HIP 94235 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only HIP 94235 and its planets are drawn.

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.

The planets, compared

For a star of 5,991 K, 1.4 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 1.10 to 1.93 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 191 years ago, around 1840.
