Kepler-1649 b

Kepler-1649 b is a temperate Earth-size planet orbiting a red dwarf star 300.7 ly away. A year there lasts 8.7 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. 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-1649 b. 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.
