Kepler-880: A Distant Star With Two Neptune-Like Worlds
Kepler-880 is a star 1960 light-years away with two known planets. The host is 1.46 solar masses, 1.74 solar radii, and a temperature of 6760 K, all larger or hotter than the Sun, with an age of 1.66 billion years.
Both planets were found by the transit method, which detects the small dip in a star's brightness when a planet crosses in front of it. Kepler-880 b, discovered in 2016, is Neptune-like, with a radius of 2.66 Earth radii and an orbital period of 7.71 days. Kepler-880 c, discovered in 2023, is also Neptune-like, with a radius of 2.87 Earth radii and an orbital period of 11.8 days.
Among the listed planets, Kepler-880 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius by reported estimates, while Kepler-880 c has the longest year and the largest radius. Because a Neptune-like class extends to four times Earth's radius, both planets fit that size range.
