TIC 67686059 b
TIC 67686059 b is a mini-Neptune orbiting TIC 67686059 in the constellation Sculptor. It lies about 813 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TIC 67686059 b?
TIC 67686059 b has a radius of 2.59 times that of Earth.
Is TIC 67686059 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TIC 67686059 b relative to the habitable zone of TIC 67686059 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TIC 67686059: 0.497–1.196 AU (conservative: 0.629–1.134 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TIC 67686059 b — one full orbit around TIC 67686059 — lasts 3.52 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TIC 67686059 b Discovered?
TIC 67686059 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 67686059 b?
TIC 67686059 b is 812.8 light-years (249.2 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1214. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 14,305,280 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TIC 67686059 b
Is TIC 67686059 b habitable?
TIC 67686059 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TIC 67686059, and as a mini-Neptune it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TIC 67686059 b?
TIC 67686059 b is about 813 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sculptor. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 14,305,280 years to get there.
How big is TIC 67686059 b compared to Earth?
TIC 67686059 b has 2.59 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TIC 67686059 b?
One orbit around TIC 67686059 takes 3.5 Earth days — short enough that 104 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
