VHS J125601.92-125723.9 is 41.4 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this M7.5 star; the first was found in 2015 by imaging (Paranal Observatory).
Fly there in 3DVHS J125601.92-125723.9 b was photographed directly: it is one of the few exoplanets seen as its own point of light rather than inferred from its star.
VHS J125601.92-125723.9 is one of 2 stars in its system: the other is drawn where the Washington Double Star Catalog measures it on the sky.

VHS J125601.92-125723.9 B is a L7 star of magnitude 22.5, judged a true companion. In 2013 it was 7.4″ from VHS J125601.92-125723.9, at position angle 216° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 12560-1257 SKF2542 AB): 94.0 AU on the sky at this distance. The true distance can only be larger. Its colour is estimated from its brightness.

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.
