Kepler-1215 and Its Lone Known Planet
Kepler-1215 is a star 2160 light-years away with one known planet. The star is 4.79 billion years old, has a mass of 0.95 solar masses, and a radius of 0.93 solar radii, with a temperature of 5620 K. Its mass is reported as smaller than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler than the Sun's.
The only planet known to orbit it is Kepler-1215 b, a planet classed as Earth-like, whose radius of 1.22 Earth radii makes it larger than Earth. It was discovered by transit in 2016. A transit is a planet's passage in front of its star as seen from Earth, producing a small dip in observed brightness; repeated dips help establish orbital periods. That orbital period is 4.77 days.
