TOI-6029 b
TOI-6029 b is a hot Jupiter orbiting TOI-6029 in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies about 1,967 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2024 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-6029 b?
TOI-6029 b has a radius of 14.39 times that of Earth, or 1.28 times the radius of Jupiter. Its mass is 520 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-6029 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-6029 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-6029 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-6029: 1.833–4.276 AU (conservative: 2.322–4.054 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-6029 b — one full orbit around TOI-6029 — lasts 5.80 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year. Its orbit is mildly elliptical (eccentricity 0.09).
How Was TOI-6029 b Discovered?
TOI-6029 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-6029 b?
TOI-6029 b is 1,967.1 light-years (603.1 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 1,967 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 34,620,960 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-6029 b
Is TOI-6029 b habitable?
TOI-6029 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-6029, and as a hot Jupiter it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-6029 b?
TOI-6029 b is about 1,967 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 34,620,960 years to get there.
How big is TOI-6029 b compared to Earth?
TOI-6029 b has 14.39 times the radius of Earth and about 520 times its mass.
How long is a year on TOI-6029 b?
One orbit around TOI-6029 takes 5.8 Earth days — short enough that 63 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
