HD 715

Planetary system · 545.5 light-years away · also HD 715

HD 715 is 546 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this F8 IV star; the first was found in 2026 by transit (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)).

Worth knowing

HD 715 b goes round its star every 56.4 days, 1.6 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

HD 715 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only HD 715 and its planets are drawn.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.

The planets, compared

For a star of 6,070 K, 7.6 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 2.57 to 4.51 AU. None of its known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.

The light you see left 546 years ago, around 1480.
