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 2021, by radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
Its planets
HD 96700 b — 2.9 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 8 days; about 820 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2021 by radial velocity.
HD 96700 d — 3.6 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 100 days; about 190 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2021 by radial velocity.
HD 96700 c — 1.7 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 20 days; about 540 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2021 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.
