TOI-2441 b
TOI-2441 b is a mini-Neptune orbiting TOI-2441 in the constellation Carina. It lies about 276 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-2441 b?
TOI-2441 b has a radius of 2.73 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-2441 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-2441 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-2441 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-2441: 0.139–0.361 AU (conservative: 0.176–0.342 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-2441 b — one full orbit around TOI-2441 — lasts 12.9 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TOI-2441 b Discovered?
TOI-2441 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 TOI-2441 b?
TOI-2441 b is 275.7 light-years (84.5 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1751. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 4,852,320 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-2441 b
Is TOI-2441 b habitable?
TOI-2441 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-2441, and as a mini-Neptune it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-2441 b?
TOI-2441 b is about 276 light-years from Earth in the constellation Carina. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 4,852,320 years to get there.
How big is TOI-2441 b compared to Earth?
TOI-2441 b has 2.73 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-2441 b?
One orbit around TOI-2441 takes 12.9 Earth days — short enough that 28 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
