WORLDWALKEPIC 249893012 b
EPIC 249893012 b is a scorching large super-Earth orbiting a Sun-like star 1,048 ly away. A year there lasts 3.6 days. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. Planets this size may be wrapped in thick gas; the game imagines it as a solid or water world you can walk on.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of EPIC 249893012 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on glowing iron-rich lava fields.
- Air: rock vapor · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.003 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 161 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 22 cm.
- Every step is hard work: your legs carry far more than your body weight.
Pack the right suit. Choose 3 of 6 modules (cooling, heating, pressure hull, extra oxygen, radiation shield, jetpack), complete 3 surveys and get back to the lander before your oxygen runs out.
