From the information popup on this wormhole we can tell quite a few things.

* The O477 name means that this is an entrance, not an exit (which would be a K162 instead). The difference doesn't mean much, at least mechanically, except that an entrance give much more information. [[Wormhole Information|For example, the Wormhole Information page]] tells us that a O477 wormhole leads to C3 wormhole space, has a total mass allowance of 2,000,000,000 kg, has a per-transit ship mass limit of 300,000,000 kg, and a maximum stable time of 16 hours.

* The wormhole is not yet end of life, meaning it'll still be around for a while.

* The wormhole has had its stability decreased by mass pushed through it, but not critically left. For this wormhole, that means that there is anywhere between 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000 kg of mass left before it goes critical. If no-one pushes any mass through it, it will last until it decays naturally after its time runs out. However if it's at the low end of the mass remaining, it could go critical and then collapse very quickly if enough mass gets pushed through it. A wormhole at this stage is fairly safe to jump through, though you should be wary. If you, for instance, jump through in the middle of someone's rolling operation and can't jump back out, you could potentially be trapped on the other side, left to scan your way out of C3 space.
