HD 66428 is 174 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this G8 IV (+ G) star; the first was found in 2005 by radial velocity (W. M. Keck Observatory).
Fly there in 3DHD 66428 c takes 28.7 years to go round its star once.

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.
