GJ 740 b
GJ 740 b is a hot super-Earth orbiting an orange star 36.2 ly away. A year there lasts 2.4 days. It was found using the radial velocity method: it makes its star wobble. Note: its size is estimated from its mass, only a minimum mass is known.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of GJ 740 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on a molten surface of lava seas.
- Air: rock vapor · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.003 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 88 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 40 cm.
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.
