How far, from the Sun

About 347 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light347 years
  • Voyager 1's speed6.16 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h3.74 billion years

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

Facts

  • HIP 41378 f has an equilibrium temperature between −50 and +50 °C.

How it was found

  • First planet found in 2016, by transit and radial velocity (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • HIP 41378 b — 2.6 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 16 days; about 690 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2016 by transit.
  • HIP 41378 c — 2.7 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 32 days; about 480 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2016 by transit.
  • HIP 41378 d — 3.7 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 280 days; about 94 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2016 by transit.
  • HIP 41378 e — 5.2 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 390 days; about 62 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2016 by transit.
  • HIP 41378 f — 9.5 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 540 days; about 21 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2016 by transit.
  • HIP 41378 g — 2.5 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 63 days; about 330 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2025 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.
