Kepler-901 and Its Solitary Planet
Kepler-901 is a single-star system 828 light-years away. Its star is 3.8 billion years old and has a mass of 0.59 solar masses, a radius of 0.57 solar radii, and a temperature of 4180 K, making it smaller, less massive, and cooler than the Sun. One planet is known to orbit this star.
That planet is Kepler-901 b, an Earth-like world discovered by transit in 2016. It completes an orbit in 3.52 days and has a radius of 1.37 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
