Kepler-1508 and Its Lone Planet
Kepler-1508 is a star located 4110 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 2.69 billion years old and has a mass of 1.14 solar masses, a radius of 1.22 solar radii, and a temperature of 6160 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1508 b was discovered by transit in 2016, when it passed in front of its star from our viewpoint and caused a small dip in observed brightness. It completes an orbit every 20.7 days. With a radius of 1.33 Earth radii, it is classified as Earth-like, a size class that stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
