TOI-1758 b
TOI-1758 b is a sub-Neptune orbiting TOI-1758 in the constellation Cepheus. It lies about 315 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-1758 b?
TOI-1758 b has a radius of 3.62 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-1758 b in the Habitable Zone?
TOI-1758 b orbits inside the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-1758. So close to its star, surface conditions are far too hot for liquid water.
Habitable zone of TOI-1758: 0.504–1.209 AU (conservative: 0.638–1.147 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Temperature on TOI-1758 b
TOI-1758 b receives 21.05 times the stellar energy that Earth gets from the Sun.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-1758 b — one full orbit around TOI-1758 — lasts 20.7 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. It orbits at an average distance of 0.141 AU — closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun.
How Was TOI-1758 b Discovered?
TOI-1758 b 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-1758 b?
TOI-1758 b is 315.1 light-years (96.6 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1711. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 5,545,760 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-1758 b
Is TOI-1758 b habitable?
No — TOI-1758 b orbits too close to its star and is too hot for liquid water to exist on its surface.
How far away is TOI-1758 b?
TOI-1758 b is about 315 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cepheus. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 5,545,760 years to get there.
How big is TOI-1758 b compared to Earth?
TOI-1758 b has 3.62 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-1758 b?
One orbit around TOI-1758 takes 20.7 Earth days — short enough that 18 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
