GJ 900 A

Planetary system · 67.9 light-years away · also HIP 116384

GJ 900 A is 67.9 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 1 planet around this K7 star; the first was found in 2024 by imaging (Multiple Observatories).

Worth knowing

GJ 900 b was photographed directly: it is one of the few exoplanets seen as its own point of light rather than inferred from its star.

GJ 900 A is one of 3 stars in its system. The position of the other 2 is not catalogued, so only GJ 900 A and its planets are drawn.

Where the archive gives only a period or only an orbit size, the other is worked out from Kepler’s third law with the star’s mass.

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.
