WASP-26 is 824 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this G0 star; the first was found in 2010 by transit (SuperWASP).
Fly there in 3DWASP-26 b goes round its star every 2.76 days, 32 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
WASP-26 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only WASP-26 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.
