HD 116029 is 402 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this K0 star; the first was found in 2011 by radial velocity (W. M. Keck Observatory).
Fly there in 3DHD 116029 c takes 907.0 days to go round its star once.
HD 116029 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only HD 116029 and its planets are drawn.
Where the archive gives only a period or only an orbit size, the other is worked out from Kepler’s third law with the star’s mass.

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.
