This is the name my 4 year old would give a celestial body.

This group of totally badass dorks discovered and named it!
How is it “orbiting” at 35 light years away? That’s like 8x further away than the nearest star to our sun. Is there just nothing else closer?
According to the entry, the semi-major axis is 7,506.0 AU which is ~0.1185 ly, not 35 ly.
Ah, my bad. It’s 35 ly away from us, not from the host star.
Gonna be a loooooong winter.
