How far, from the Sun

About 455 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light455 years
  • Voyager 1's speed8.08 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h4.91 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 2023, by transit timing variations and transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • TOI-1408 c — 2.2 times Earth's width, a 'sub-Neptune' — bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune; its year lasts 2 days; about 1,600 °C, hot enough to melt rock; found in 2024 by transit timing variations.
  • TOI-1408 b — 25 times Earth's width, a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 4 days; about 1,000 °C, hot enough to melt rock; 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.
