V1298 Tau is 353 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 4 planets around this K1 star; the first was found in 2019 by transit (K2).
Fly there in 3DV1298 Tau c goes round its star every 8.25 days, 11 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
V1298 Tau is one of 3 stars in its system. The position of the other 2 is not catalogued, so only V1298 Tau 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.
