Kepler-976 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-976 is a star located 3300 light-years away. It has a mass of 0.87 solar masses and a radius of 0.83 solar radii, both smaller than the Sun's corresponding values. Its temperature is 5230 K, cooler than the Sun's, and its age is 4.68 billion years. One planet orbits this host.
That planet is Kepler-976 b, a Neptune-like world discovered by transit in 2016. It completes an orbit every 106 days and has a radius of 3.96 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
