WORLDWALKHD 80653 b
HD 80653 b is a scorching large super-Earth orbiting a Sun-like star 358.3 ly away. A year there lasts 17 hours. 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 HD 80653 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: 0.002 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 150 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 23 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.
