Kepler-950 b: A Jupiter-Like World in a Distant System
Kepler-950 is a star located 7050 light-years away, with a single known planet in its orbit. The host star is 3.8 billion years old, has a mass of 1.02 solar masses, a radius of 1.02 solar radii, and a temperature of 5860 K.
The system's only named planet is Kepler-950 b, a Jupiter-like world discovered in 2016 by the transit method. It completes one orbit every 98.7 days and has a radius of 8.98 Earth radii. As a Jupiter-like planet, its size class exceeds 4 times Earth's radius, and its reported radius estimate is larger than Earth's.
