How far, from the Sun

About 3,900 light-years. To cross it:

  • Light3,900 years
  • Voyager 1's speed69.3 million years
  • Driving at 100 km/h42.1 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 2007, by pulsation timing variations (NASA Exoplanet Archive).

Its planets

  • V0391 Peg b — 13 times Earth's width (estimated from its mass, not measured), a giant, Jupiter-sized or more; its year lasts about 3 Earth years; about 250 °C, hotter than boiling water; found in 2007 by pulsation timing variations.

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.
