How far, from the Sun

About 2,740 light-years. To cross it:

• Light2,740 years
• Voyager 1's speed48.6 million years
• Driving at 100 km/h29.5 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 2021, by transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

• Kepler-1801 b — 2.7 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 10 days; about 560 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2021 by transit.
• Kepler-1801 c — 2.9 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 120 days; about 98 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2023 by transit.

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.
