TOI-7550 b
TOI-7550 b is a mini-Neptune orbiting TOI-7550 in the constellation Pictor. It lies about 337 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-7550 b?
TOI-7550 b has a radius of 2.90 times that of Earth.
Is TOI-7550 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-7550 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-7550 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-7550: 0.220–0.563 AU (conservative: 0.279–0.534 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-7550 b — one full orbit around TOI-7550 — lasts 4.98 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TOI-7550 b Discovered?
TOI-7550 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-7550 b?
TOI-7550 b is 337.1 light-years (103.4 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1689. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 5,932,960 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-7550 b
Is TOI-7550 b habitable?
TOI-7550 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-7550, and as a mini-Neptune it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-7550 b?
TOI-7550 b is about 337 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pictor. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 5,932,960 years to get there.
How big is TOI-7550 b compared to Earth?
TOI-7550 b has 2.90 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-7550 b?
One orbit around TOI-7550 takes 5.0 Earth days — short enough that 73 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
