HD 20794 f

HD 20794 f is a confirmed sub-Neptune exoplanet 19.6 ly from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, discovered in 2025 by Multiple Observatories.

Radial Velocity: spotted by the gravitational wobble the planet tugs in its star.

Standing on HD 20794 f, you would weigh roughly about 12% more than you do on Earth. Its yellow, Sun-like star looks 0.69× as wide as ours, bathing the surface in warm white light. A year here lasts 1.8 Earth years, and it sits squarely in the habitable zone, among the more Earth-like worlds known.

Gravity close to Earth's, at about 1.1 times. A child would grow up much as they would back home.

A playful thought experiment from this world’s gravity, not a prediction about any real person. No human has ever grown up off Earth, so no one truly knows; the direction (taller in low gravity, shorter and stockier in high) follows how growing bodies respond to weight.

Hear how a voice sounds herea computed acoustic demo

Your voice would sound deeper and fuller.

Assuming Earth-like air at this world's temperature of about -59°C (-74°F), sound would travel roughly 14% slower than on Earth, so your voice would sound deeper and fuller. The real atmosphere is unknown, so this is a best guess.

The journey
Cosmic travel advisory
★★★★
Recommended, with reservations
  • !Cold at about -59°C (-74°F), survivable only fully suited and heated.
  • Surface gravity is close to Earth's, at least 1.12 times, so you would move much as you do here.
  • It orbits within the habitable zone, where a world could in principle hold liquid water.

Common questions

What is the gravity on HD 20794 f?

HD 20794 f's surface gravity is at least 1.1 times Earth's, and possibly more: its mass is only a lower bound.

How much would you weigh on HD 20794 f?

Someone who weighs 150 pounds on Earth would weigh at least 168 pounds on HD 20794 f.

How far is HD 20794 f from Earth?

HD 20794 f lies about 19.6 light-years from Earth.

How long would it take to get to HD 20794 f?

At the speed of NASA's Parker Solar Probe, the fastest craft ever built, the journey would take about 30,535 years.

How hot is HD 20794 f?

HD 20794 f's equilibrium temperature, the balance it reaches from its star's light alone before any greenhouse warming, is about -59°C (-74°F).

Is HD 20794 f habitable?

HD 20794 f orbits inside its star's habitable zone, the range of distances where liquid water could be stable, and its Earth-similarity index is 0.70. That makes it worth studying, but it is not evidence of life: we have no measurement of its atmosphere, water, or surface.

How long is a year on HD 20794 f?

HD 20794 f completes one orbit of its star in 1.8 years.
