Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
TOI-2005 b
A confirmed world orbiting TOI-2005, 1,071.3 light-years away.
A gas giant
11.99 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). With 2034.1 Earth masses packed into that size, its density points to rock and iron rather than gas.
The orbit
Its year, one full orbit, takes just 17.3 Earth days. The orbit is strongly stretched (eccentricity 0.60), so its distance from the star, and with it the climate, swings dramatically.
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about 948 °C. Hot enough to melt copper; any surface would glow. It receives 525.9 times the starlight Earth gets.
Its sun
Its star is hotter than the Sun (7,130 K), burning brighter and faster.
How far is that, really?
At 1,071 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 954. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 18,954,820 years to get there.
How we found it
It was found by the transit method: the planet crosses its star's face on schedule, dimming it by a tiny, repeating fraction. The dip's depth gives the planet's size. The discovery was announced in 2025 from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
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.
