WASP-11 is 407 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this K3 V star; the first was found in 2008 by transit (SuperWASP).
Fly there in 3DWASP-11 b goes round its star every 3.72 days, 24 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
WASP-11 is one of 3 stars in its system. The position of the other 2 is not catalogued, so only WASP-11 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 4,800 K, 1.0 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 1.00 to 1.83 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 407 years ago, around 1620.
