Kepler-1296 b: A Sub-Earth in a Distant System
Kepler-1296 is a star 5060 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 4.17 billion years old, has a mass of 0.87 solar masses and a radius of 0.83 solar radii, and a temperature of 5360 K. Its mass and radius are smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-1296 b was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passing in front of its star from our viewpoint causes a small dip in observed brightness. Repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1296 b completes an orbit every 8.38 days. With a radius of 0.91 Earth radii, it is classified as a Sub-Earth, meaning its radius is smaller than Earth's.
