Kepler-1959 and Its Lone Known Planet
Kepler-1959 is a star 1560 light-years away with one listed planet. The star has a reported mass of 0.768 solar masses and a radius of 0.811 solar radii, making it smaller than the Sun. Its temperature of 5070 K is cooler than the Sun's.
The only listed planet is Kepler-1959 b, an Earth-like world discovered by the transit method in 2021. A transit occurs when a planet crosses in front of its star, dimming its light slightly. This planet's orbital period is 6.39 days, and its radius is 1.14 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
