Can someone update the hypothetical pic from this article please. I don't know enough about public domain images to do it myself. Sandman1142 (talk) 20:30, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- That's just an artist's impression, there are already some in the article. SevenSpheres (talk) 20:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
The exoplanet's proximity to Earth offers an opportunity for robotic space exploration.

Should we add density?
Because we know its size* and its mass, so should we add density? Fred1000000000 (talk) 05:56, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- Mass** Fred1000000000 (talk) 05:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- I have also calculated the density witch is 7.1072138165419 g/cm Fred1000000000 (talk) 06:23, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- (if it’s mass is 1.07 earth masses and 0.94 earth radius) Fred1000000000 (talk) 07:12, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
- We don't know its size; the values given are based on assumed compositions. 21 Andromedae (talk) 18:11, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

- No, that would be highly misleading. There is no radius measurement so the density is unknown. The article lists a range of plausible radii. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:40, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
