Kepler-126 c

Kepler-126 c is a hot super-Earth orbiting a bright white-yellow star 774.3 ly away. A year there lasts 21.9 days. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. Note: only a minimum mass is known.

What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined

Nobody has seen the surface of Kepler-126 c. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on dry, dusty desert rock.

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.

Sizes, masses, temperatures and orbits come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems Composite table). Values marked estimated are calculated from the other measurements; the surface and air are imagined for the game.
