Kepler-885 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-885 is a star 2120 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 3.16 billion years old and has a mass of 1.21 solar masses, a radius of 1.35 solar radii, and a temperature of 6190 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's, and its reported temperature is hotter than the Sun's.
The planet Kepler-885 b was 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. Kepler-885 b orbits every 18.1 days and has a radius of 2.5 Earth radii, larger than Earth's. As a Neptune-like planet, it falls within the size class that reaches 4 times Earth's radius.
