KIC 7917485 b

A confirmed world orbiting KIC 7917485, 4,510.4 light-years away.

4,510.4 light-years (1,382.9 pc) Discovered 2016 · Pulsation Timing Variations

A gas giant

12.40 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). With 3750.4 Earth masses packed into that size, its density points to rock and iron rather than gas.

The orbit

Its year takes 840 Earth days (2.3 Earth years).

Its sun

Its star is hotter than the Sun (7,067 K, A), burning brighter and faster.

How far is that, really?

At 4,510 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year -2484. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 79,800,383 years to get there.

Everything above is computed from the archive’s measured values for this planet. Where a quantity is missing, the statement is omitted rather than guessed.

About this record

The measured values come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and any missing value has not been determined yet; the Atlas never fills gaps with guesses. More standout worlds: Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1e, K2-18 b, 55 Cancri e, and the detection methods that found them all.
