COCONUTS-2 A is 35.5 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this M3 V star; the first was found in 2021 by imaging (NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF)).
Fly there in 3DCOCONUTS-2 b was photographed directly: it is one of the few exoplanets seen as its own point of light rather than inferred from its star.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
