Kepler-740 and Its Jupiter-Like Planet
Kepler-740 is a star located 4700 light-years away. It has one known planet. The star is 4.79 billion years old, with a mass of 0.91 solar masses and a radius of 0.87 solar radii. Its temperature is 5440 K.
The planet Kepler-740 b is a Jupiter-like world discovered by transit in 2016. This means it was found by watching for the small dip in the star's brightness as the planet crossed in front of it. Kepler-740 b orbits its star every 3.58 days. Its radius is 4.57 Earth radii, larger than Earth's.
