WORLDWALKK2-131 b
K2-131 b is a scorching large super-Earth orbiting an orange star 497.4 ly away. A year there lasts 9 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 K2-131 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 194 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 18 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.
