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 2009, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
Its planets
HD 215497 c — 13 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 570 days; about −74 °C, below freezing; found in 2009 by radial velocity.
HD 215497 b — about 1,600 times Earth's mass; its year lasts 4 days; about 740 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2009 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.
