Kepler-1568 and Its Earth-Like Planet
Kepler-1568 is a star 2990 light-years away with one known planet. The host star is 4.57 billion years old, has a mass of 1.09 solar masses, a radius of 1.19 solar radii, and a temperature of 5960 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-1568 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-1568 b has an orbital period of 20.9 days and a radius of 1.3 Earth radii. Its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's. As an Earth-like planet, it stays within 1.5 times Earth's radius.
