How far, from the Sun

About 127 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light127 years
  • Voyager 1's speed2.26 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h1.37 billion years

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 2019, by transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • HD 23472 e — 0.8 times Earth's width, about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 8 days; about 450 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2022 by transit.
  • HD 23472 c — 1.9 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 30 days; about 190 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2019 by transit.
  • HD 23472 b — 2 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 18 days; about 270 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2019 by transit.
  • HD 23472 f — 1.1 times Earth's width, about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 12 days; about 360 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2022 by transit.

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.
