Voyager 1 at the speed it moved outward over the year to 2026-10-25 (JPL Horizons). Driving: nonstop, never refuelling.
How it was found
First planet found in 2011, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
Its planets
HD 156279 c — 13 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts about 13 Earth years; about −160 °C, below freezing; found in 2016 by radial velocity.
HD 156279 b — 13 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 130 days; about 89 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2011 by radial velocity.
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.
