Kepler-596 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-596 is a star 3340 light-years away with one known planet. The host is 2.69 billion years old, with a mass of 1.21 solar masses and a radius of 1.32 solar radii. Its temperature is 6270 K. The star's reported mass, radius, and temperature estimates are larger or hotter than the Sun's.
The system's only listed planet is Kepler-596 b, a Neptune-like world discovered by transit in 2016. It orbits every 21.3 days and has a radius of 3.46 Earth radii. That radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
