TOI-883 b
TOI-883 b is a cold gas giant orbiting TOI-883 in the constellation Monoceros. It lies about 335 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2026 using the transit method.
How Big Is TOI-883 b?
TOI-883 b has a radius of 7.17 times that of Earth, or 0.64 times the radius of Jupiter.
Is TOI-883 b in the Habitable Zone?
The position of TOI-883 b relative to the habitable zone of TOI-883 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Habitable zone of TOI-883: 0.747–1.764 AU (conservative: 0.947–1.672 AU), per Kopparapu et al. (2014). Earth orbits the Sun at 1 AU.

Orbit and Year Length
A year on TOI-883 b — one full orbit around TOI-883 — lasts 10.1 Earth days, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was TOI-883 b Discovered?
TOI-883 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-883 b?
TOI-883 b is 334.8 light-years (102.6 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet around the year 1692. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 5,892,480 years to make the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About TOI-883 b
Is TOI-883 b habitable?
TOI-883 b is not known to orbit within the habitable zone of TOI-883, and as a cold gas giant it is an unlikely candidate for life as we know it.
How far away is TOI-883 b?
TOI-883 b is about 335 light-years from Earth in the constellation Monoceros. A spacecraft traveling as fast as Voyager 1 (about 17 km/s) would need roughly 5,892,480 years to get there.
How big is TOI-883 b compared to Earth?
TOI-883 b has 7.17 times the radius of Earth.
How long is a year on TOI-883 b?
One orbit around TOI-883 takes 10.1 Earth days — short enough that 36 of its years would fit into one Earth year.
