Kepler-1179 and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-1179 is a star located 1350 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 4.9 billion years old and has a mass of 0.84 solar masses, a radius of 0.81 solar radii, and a temperature of 5210 K, making it smaller, less massive, and cooler than the Sun.
The single planet in this system is Kepler-1179 b, an Earth-like world discovered by transit in 2016. This classification means its radius stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, and indeed its measured radius is 1.32 Earth radii, a bit larger than our planet. It completes one orbit every 2.69 days, so it circles its star in under three days.
