TOI-1410 c
TOI-1410 c is a Neptune-like planet orbiting TOI-1410 in the constellation Lacerta. It lies about 237 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the radial velocity method.
Is TOI-1410 c in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1410 c orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1410. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1410: 0.389–0.955 AU (conservative: 0.493–0.906 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1410 c — one full orbit around TOI-1410 — lasts 47.6 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.239 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1410 c Discovered?
TOI-1410 c was discovered in 2024 using the radial velocity method, with observations from W. M. Keck Observatory.
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 TOI-1410 c?
TOI-1410 c is 237.3 light-years (72.8 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1789. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 4,176,480 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1410 c
Is TOI-1410 c habitable?
No — TOI-1410 c orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1410 c?
TOI-1410 c is about 237 light-years from Earth in the constellation Lacerta. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 4,176,480 years to get there.
How long is a year on TOI-1410 c?
One orbit around TOI-1410 takes 47.6 Earth days.
