Kepler-59: A Distant Star With Two Known Planets

Kepler-59 is a star 3790 light-years away with two known planets. The host star is estimated to be 3.31 billion years old, with a mass of 1.12 solar masses and a radius of 1.17 solar radii. Its temperature is 6090 K, hotter than the Sun's, and both its reported mass and radius estimates are larger than the Sun's.

Both planets were discovered by transit in 2012. Kepler-59 b is classified as Earth-like, with a radius of 1.1 Earth radii and an orbital period of 11.9 days. Kepler-59 c is a Super-Earth with a radius of 1.98 Earth radii and an orbital period of 18 days. Each planet's radius is larger than Earth's, and among the listed planets, Kepler-59 b has the shortest year and the smallest radius, while Kepler-59 c has the longest year and the largest radius.
