2. ...left the planet to colonize Andromedae b.

Upsilon Andromedae b is one strange exoplanet that rotates around the star Upsilon Andromedae A, which is 44 light-years away from Earth. The exoplanet is too close to its sun, completing an orbit in just 4.6 days. As you may have guessed, this suggests that it is tidally locked, with one side permanently facing the sun and one unbelievably hot.There I censored it for them. Since an orbit of the sun is a "year", just tell them a life span could be 85 times as many years over there.
