Kepler-1455 b

Kepler-1455 b is a temperate water-rich world orbiting an orange star 1,166 ly away. A year there lasts 49.3 days. It was found using the transit method: it dims its star as it passes in front. Its temperature could allow liquid water, which makes it a habitable-zone candidate, not a confirmed habitable world. Planets this size may be wrapped in thick gas; the game imagines it as a solid or water world you can walk on. Note: its mass is estimated from its size. It sits where a planet could be warm enough for liquid water, in the so-called habitable zone.

What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined

Nobody has seen the surface of Kepler-1455 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on a deep ocean under a hydrogen sky.

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.
