K2-32 is 514 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 4 planets around this G9 V star; the first was found in 2016 by transit (K2).
Fly there in 3DK2-32 e goes round its star every 4.35 days, 20 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
K2-32 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only K2-32 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.
For a star of 5,271 K, 0.51 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.70 to 1.25 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 514 years ago, around 1510.
