PSR B0329+54 b
PSR B0329+54 b is a frozen Earth-size planet orbiting a pulsar (the dead core of an exploded star) 1,647 ly away. A year there lasts 27.8 years. It was found using tiny changes in its pulsar's radio pulses. Note: its size is estimated from its mass, only a minimum mass is known, its temperature is unknown, so the game assumes one.
What it would be like in Worldwalk imagined
Nobody has seen the surface of PSR B0329+54 b. The game builds it from the real numbers above: you land on a frozen shell of ice.
- Air: thin N₂ (nitrogen) · a guess. Surface pressure: 0.07 bar.
- A 70 kg explorer would feel like 93 kg.
- A jump that clears 50 cm on Earth would reach about 38 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.
