Kepler-1290 b: An Earth-Like World in a Distant System
Kepler-1290 is a star located 5200 light-years away, and it hosts one planet. The star is 4.07 billion years old and contains 0.95 solar masses, with a radius of 0.93 solar radii and a temperature of 5660 K.
The planet in this system is Kepler-1290 b, classified as Earth-like and discovered by transit in 2016. A transit occurs when a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, causing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. Kepler-1290 b completes an orbit every 4.7 days and has a radius of 1.42 Earth radii, which is larger than Earth's. Earth-like classification places it within 1.5 times Earth's radius.
