Kepler-860 b: A Neptune-Like World in a Distant System
Kepler-860 is a star located 3450 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star itself is 4.27 billion years old, with a mass of 1.04 solar masses, a radius of 1.06 solar radii, and a temperature of 5840 K.
The sole planet in this system is Kepler-860 b, a Neptune-like world discovered in 2016 by the transit method. This classification places it within the size range where a planet’s radius reaches up to four times that of Earth. Kepler-860 b orbits its star every 5.1 days and has a radius of 3.24 Earth radii, making it larger than Earth.
