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 2018, by radial velocity and transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).
Its planets
K2-157 c — 6.1 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 26 days; about 310 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2025 by radial velocity.
K2-157 d — 5.2 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), Neptune-sized; its year lasts 67 days; about 160 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2025 by radial velocity.
K2-157 b — 0.9 times Earth's width, about Earth-sized — probably rocky; its year lasts 9 hours; about 2,200 °C, hot enough to melt rock; found in 2018 by transit.
