How far, from the Sun

About 41 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light41 years
  • Voyager 1's speed729,000 years
  • Driving at 100 km/h442 million years

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

Facts

  • HD 69830 d has an equilibrium temperature between −50 and +50 °C.

How it was found

  • First planet found in 2006, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • HD 69830 b — 3.2 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 9 days; about 600 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2006 by radial velocity.
  • HD 69830 d — 4.5 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 200 days; about 35 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2006 by radial velocity.
  • HD 69830 c — 3.5 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 32 days; about 290 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2006 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.
