Kepler-1438 and Its Solitary Planet
Kepler-1438 is a star 3760 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 5.37 billion years old and has a mass of 0.97 solar masses and a radius of 0.96 solar radii. Its temperature is 5530 K, which is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1438 b was discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1438 b orbits every 2.32 days, and its radius of 0.94 Earth radii places it in the Sub-Earth class, smaller than Earth.
