Kepler-559 b: A Neptune-like World in a Distant System
Kepler-559 is a star 2530 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 4.37 billion years old, has 0.96 solar masses, 0.95 solar radii, and a temperature of 5630 K.
The planet, Kepler-559 b, is Neptune-like and was discovered in 2016 by the transit method, in which a planet passes in front of its star from our viewpoint and causes a small dip in observed brightness. It orbits every 17.6 days. Its radius is 3.61 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
