Habitable zone

Star and planets drawn to scale: the star is 35 times as wide as TOI-1075 b, so only its edge is in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.

TOI-1075 b, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive (found 2022). Measured: 9.95 Earth masses, 0.0116 AU, a 3875 K K-type star. Composition inferred from a measured bulk density of 1.73x Earth's, far too high for silicates alone — an iron-rich world, with a day locked to its 0.6-day year, as anything orbiting this close would be.

Surface. Molten surface with lava flows, volcanic activity everywhere

Lava World
Magnetic FieldExtreme Activity
TOI-1075 b's proximity to its star (0.01 AU) results in extreme surface temperatures of 1336K.
Lava worlds orbit so close to their stars that rocky surfaces melt into oceans of molten rock. Recent planet formation can also create temporary lava worlds.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Temperature: 1336K (>1000K)

Reading TOI-1075 b’s atmosphere

Dominant elements: Si, Fe, Mg, Ni, S, AlThis is what a telescope would measure while TOI-1075 b 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.TOI-1075 b sits about 201 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.
