How far, from the Sun

About 580 light-years. To cross it:

• Light580 years
• Voyager 1's speed10.3 million years
• Driving at 100 km/h6.26 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 2019, by transit (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

• TOI-216.01 — 10 times Earth's width, a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts 35 days; about 220 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2019 by transit.
• TOI-216.02 — 8 times Earth's width, Neptune-sized; its year lasts 17 days; about 360 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2019 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.
