How far, from the Sun

About 65.9 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light65.9 years
  • Voyager 1's speed1.17 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h711 million years

Voyager 1 at the speed it moved outward over the year to 2026-10-25 (JPL Horizons). Driving: nonstop, never refuelling.

Facts

  • GJ 3293 b, GJ 3293 d have an equilibrium temperature between −50 and +50 °C.

How it was found

  • First planet found in 2015, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • GJ 3293 b — 5.2 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 31 days; about 8 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2015 by radial velocity.
  • GJ 3293 d — 2.7 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 48 days; about −32 °C, below freezing; found in 2017 by radial velocity.
  • GJ 3293 c — 4.9 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 120 days; about −96 °C, below freezing; found in 2015 by radial velocity.
  • GJ 3293 e — 1.6 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 13 days; about 98 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2017 by radial velocity.

Where this comes from

  • NASA Exoplanet Archive, Planetary Systems Composite Parameters (fetched 2026-11-02). Composite values: where a planet's size or mass was not measured, the archive estimates it from the other.
  • This research has made use of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with NASA under the Exoplanet Exploration Program.
