WORLDWALKKepler-1178 b
Kepler-1178 b is a warm Earth-size planet orbiting an orange star 1,573 ly away. A year there lasts 31.8 days. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. Note: its mass is estimated from its size.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of Kepler-1178 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on frosty rock and snowfields.
- Air: N₂ (nitrogen), CO₂ (carbon dioxide) · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.9 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 76 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 46 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.
