Kepler-1565 b

Kepler-1565 b is a scorching Earth-size planet orbiting an orange star 2,055 ly away. A year there lasts 1.5 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-1565 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on bare, cratered rock with no air.

Air: None (bare rock). Surface pressure: almost none.
A 70 kg explorer would feel like 89 kg.
A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 39 cm.
With almost no air, a hammer and a feather fall side by side, and sound cannot travel.

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.
