K2-27 is 814 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this 5,246 K star; the first was found in 2016 by transit (K2).
Fly there in 3DK2-27 b goes round its star every 6.77 days, 13 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
K2-27 is one of 3 stars in its system. The position of the other 2 is not catalogued, so only K2-27 and its planets are drawn.

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.
