HD 190360 d
HD 190360 d is a Neptune-like planet orbiting the G7 IV-V star HD 190360 in the constellation Cygnus. It lies about 52 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the radial velocity method.
Is HD 190360 d in the Habitable Zone?
The position of HD 190360 d relative to the habitable zone of HD 190360 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on HD 190360 d — one full orbit around HD 190360 — lasts 88.7 Earth days, between the years of Mercury (88 days) and Earth (365 days). It orbits at an average distance of 0.389 AU — comparable to the inner Solar System. Its orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.06).
How Was HD 190360 d Discovered?
HD 190360 d was discovered in 2026 using the radial velocity method, with observations from Multiple Facilities.
The radial velocity method measures the subtle wobble of a star caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet, visible as periodic shifts in the star's light spectrum. The size of the wobble reveals the planet's minimum mass.
How Far Away Is HD 190360 d?
HD 190360 d is 52.2 light-years (16.0 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1974. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 918,720 years to make the journey.
