Kepler-186f

Description

Star : Kepler-186
Constellation : Cygnus
Size : 1,1 Earth

Kepler-186f is the first Earth-size planet in the Habitable Zone known.
Kepler-186f is more reminiscent of Earth.

Although the size of Kepler-186f is known, its mass and composition are not. Previous research, however, suggests that a planet the size of Kepler-186f is likely to be rocky.

Kepler-186f orbits its star once every 130-days and receives one-third the energy from its star that Earth gets from the sun, placing it nearer the outer edge of the Habitable Zone !

The four companion planets, Kepler-186b, Kepler-186c, Kepler-186d, and Kepler-186e.


At nearly 490 light-years (151 pc) distant, Kepler-186f is too remote and its star too faint for current telescopes or the next generation of planned telescopes to determine its mass or whether it has an atmosphere...

Kepler-186f was discovered in 2008, but until 2014 the scientists didn't want to list the planet in the group of the "livable planets".
