How far, from the Sun

About 2,070 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light2,070 years
  • Voyager 1's speed36.8 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h22.4 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 2016, by transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • Kepler-549 c — 2.9 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 120 days; about 76 °C, between freezing and boiling; found in 2016 by transit.
  • Kepler-549 b — 2.6 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 43 days; about 210 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2016 by transit.
  • Kepler-549 d — 4.2 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 25 days; about 310 °C, hotter than boiling water; 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.
