Pr0211 is 596 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 5,300 K star; the first was found in 2012 by radial velocity (Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory).
Fly there in 3DPr0211 b goes round its star every 2.15 days, 41 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Pr0211 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Pr0211 and its planets are drawn.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pr0211 b | 2.15 days | 0.0318 AU | 13.4 R⊕ estimated | 597.52 M⊕ minimum | Radial Velocity, 2012 |

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 5,300 K, 0.46 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.66 to 1.19 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.
