LHS 1678 is 64.8 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 3 planets around this M2.0 V star; the first was found in 2021 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).
Fly there in 3DLHS 1678 b goes round its star every 20.6 hours, 102 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
LHS 1678 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only LHS 1678 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.
