TOI-2134 c
A confirmed world orbiting TOI-2134, 73.8 light-years away.
A Neptune-class world
7.35 Earth radii, in the ice-giant size range. At only 58.3 Earth masses for that size, it must be substantially gas or volatile ices: puffy, not rocky.
The orbit
Its year takes 96 Earth days (0.3 Earth years). The orbit is strongly stretched (eccentricity 0.31), 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 29 °C. In the range where, with the right atmosphere, liquid water is conceivable; a real atmosphere could shift the true surface figure a lot (Earth's equilibrium value is −18 °C, yet we average +15 °C). It receives 1.40 times Earth's starlight, the same order as our own world.
Its sun
Its star is an orange K-type (4,580 K), K5 V: cooler and longer-lived than the Sun, a class some astronomers consider ideal for habitability. It shares the system with 1 other known planet.
How far is that, really?
At 74 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 1952. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 1,305,310 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 2023 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.
