How far, from the Sun

About 1,560 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light1,560 years
  • Voyager 1's speed27.6 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h16.8 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 2013, by transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • KOI-94 d — 11 times Earth's width, a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 22 days; about 530 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2013 by transit.
  • KOI-94 b — 1.7 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 4 days; about 1,200 °C, hot enough to melt rock; found in 2013 by transit.
  • KOI-94 c — 4.3 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 10 days; about 740 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2013 by transit.
  • KOI-94 e — 6.6 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 54 days; about 310 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2013 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.
