TIC 62895484 b
TIC 62895484 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting TIC 62895484 in the constellation Gemini. It lies about 962 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TIC 62895484 b?
TIC 62895484 b has a radius of 3.49 times that of Earth.
Is TIC 62895484 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TIC 62895484 b relative to the habitable zone of TIC 62895484 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TIC 62895484: 0.608–1.443 AU (conservative: 0.770–1.369 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TIC 62895484 b — one full orbit around TIC 62895484 — lasts 2.84 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TIC 62895484 b Discovered?
TIC 62895484 b was discovered in 2026 using the transit method, with observations from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
The transit method watches a star for the tiny, regular dip in brightness that occurs when a planet crosses in front of it. The depth and timing of these dips reveal the planet's size and orbital period.
How Far Away Is TIC 62895484 b?
TIC 62895484 b is 961.7 light-years (294.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1065. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 16,925,920 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TIC 62895484 b
Is TIC 62895484 b habitable?
TIC 62895484 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TIC 62895484, and as a sub-Neptune it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TIC 62895484 b?
TIC 62895484 b is about 962 light-years from Earth in the constellation Gemini. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 16,925,920 years to get there.
How big is TIC 62895484 b compared to Earth?
TIC 62895484 b has 3.49 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TIC 62895484 b?
One orbit around TIC 62895484 takes 2.8 Earth days — short enough that 129 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
