In everyday life
- Light from this object takes about 36 years to reach Earth — the light you see tonight left around AD 1990 (official distance ÷ speed of light).
- Its radius is about 13 times Earth's (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
- One orbit takes about 402,000,000 Earth days (about 1,100,616 years) — that is this planet's year.
