TOI-1744.01
TOI-1744.01 is a mini-Neptune orbiting TOI-1744 in the constellation Draco. It lies about 373 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1744.01?
TOI-1744.01 has a radius of 2.68 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-1744.01 in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1744.01 orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1744. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1744: 0.955–2.229 AU (conservative: 1.209–2.113 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1744.01
TOI-1744.01 receives 63.31 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1744.01 — one full orbit around TOI-1744 — lasts 22.3 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.164 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1744.01 Discovered?
TOI-1744.01 was discovered in 2024 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 TOI-1744.01?
TOI-1744.01 is 373.1 light-years (114.4 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1653. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 6,566,560 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1744.01
Is TOI-1744.01 habitable?
No — TOI-1744.01 orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1744.01?
TOI-1744.01 is about 373 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 6,566,560 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1744.01 compared to Earth?
TOI-1744.01 has 2.68 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-1744.01?
One orbit around TOI-1744 takes 22.3 Earth days — short enough that 16 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
