Kepler-1068 and Its Neptune-Like Planet
Kepler-1068 is a star 4810 light-years away with 1.01 solar masses and 1.01 solar radii, meaning its mass and radius are each essentially the Sun's. It is 4.17 billion years old and has a temperature of 5810 K.
One planet orbits this star. Kepler-1068 b is a Neptune-like planet discovered by transit in 2016. Its orbital period is 16.9 days, and its radius is 3.63 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
