HD 23079 is 109 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this F9.5 V star; the first was found in 2001 by radial velocity (Anglo-Australian Telescope).
Fly there in 3DHD 23079 c goes round its star every 5.75 days, 15 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HD 23079 c | 5.75 days | 0.0660 AU from Kepler’s law | 2.8 R⊕ estimated | 8.26 M⊕ minimum | Radial Velocity, 2025 |

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.
