How far, from the Sun

About 396 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light396 years
  • Voyager 1's speed7.03 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h4.27 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 2011, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • HD 33142 b — 14 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 330 days; about 210 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2011 by radial velocity.
  • HD 33142 c — 14 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts about 2 Earth years; about 81 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2016 by radial velocity.
  • HD 33142 d — 9.3 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 90 days; about 460 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2022 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.
