Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
NY Vir c
A confirmed world orbiting NY Vir, 1,774.4 light-years away.
A gas giant
12.80 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2).
The orbit
Its year takes 8,799 Earth days (24.1 Earth years).
Its sun
Its star is hotter than the Sun (32,780 K), burning brighter and faster. The system holds 2 stars, so its skies have more than one sun. It shares the system with 1 other known planet.
How far is that, really?
At 1,774 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 251. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 31,393,187 years to get there.
How we found it
It was inferred from eclipse timing variations in its binary star system. The discovery was announced in 2019 from Winer Observatory.
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.
