Star and planets drawn to scale: the star is 47 times as wide as KOI-2513.01, so only its edge is in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.

KOI-2513.01, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2023). Measured: 7310 Earth masses, 0.5 AU, a 5900 K G-type star. Composition inferred from a mass of 7310 Earths, which is giant territory whatever its 333.00x density suggests, with an assumed 24-hour day — rotation cannot be measured for exoplanets. Note: TerraForge comes out at 1303 K against the archive's 758 K, because it models stars by spectral class, and KOI-2513 is not an average G-type.

Surface. No surface: a deuterium-burning sphere the size of Jupiter and dozens of times its mass, glowing dull red from its own heat

KOI-2513.01 has an unusual composition that doesn't fit standard classifications, or lacks the elements needed for complex geological processes.
Barren worlds can form from uncommon element combinations or may be remnants of larger bodies that lost their atmospheres and volatile materials.

Reading KOI-2513.01’s atmosphere

Dominant elements: H, He, O, C, NThis is what a telescope would measure while KOI-2513.01 crosses in front of its star: starlight passes through the atmosphere and spreads into a rainbow band. Each dark line marks a wavelength the atmosphere absorbed.Every element absorbs its own signature wavelengths — hydrogen always darkens the same two spots, calcium another pair, and so on. Astronomers match the lines in a real spectrum against a library of these signatures to say what an atmosphere is made of, light-years away, without ever visiting. A deeper line generally means more of that element is present.KOI-2513.01 sits about 4468 light-years away, found by the transit method. Most catalogued distances trace back to parallax: as Earth orbits the Sun, a nearby star appears to shift very slightly against the distant background stars, and the size of that shift gives its distance directly.

New: Stand on Your Moons 🌒

A planet's surface view isn't the only ground any more. Press the surface button on a planet with moons and it asks where to stand: the planet itself, or any moon still in orbit, each tagged with what it became — ocean, ice, carbon, volcanic. Every moon gets its own ground and sky from its own physics: airless rock under a black sky, ice cracked by geysers over a hidden sea, sulfur plains shaking with eruptions, or orange haze you can't see the sun through. And hanging over the horizon, there's the planet you built.
