Kepler-1561 and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-1561 is a star 2740 light-years away with one planet in its system. The host star is 3.39 billion years old, has a mass of 1.07 solar masses, a radius of 1.11 solar radii, and a temperature of 5960 K.
The planet Kepler-1561 b is an Earth-like world, meaning its radius stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius. It was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-1561 b orbits its star every 1.01 days, and its radius is 1.09 Earth radii.
