NY Vir is 1,774 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 32,780 K star; the first was found in 2011 by eclipse timing variations (Multiple Observatories).
Fly there in 3DNY Vir c takes 24.1 years to go round its star once.
NY Vir is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only NY Vir 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.
