Kepler-743 b: A Close-Orbiting Earth-Sized Planet
Kepler-743 is a star located 910 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star is 1.86 billion years old and has a mass of 0.94 solar masses, a radius of 0.85 solar radii, and a temperature of 5490 K. Its mass, radius, and temperature are all lower than the Sun's corresponding values.
The one known planet around Kepler-743 is Kepler-743 b, discovered in 2016 by the transit method, where a planet passes in front of its star and causes a small dip in observed brightness. Kepler-743 b is classified as Earth-like, meaning its radius stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius, and its radius measures 1.21 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. The planet completes one orbit in 3.18 days, so its year is only a few days long.
