KOI-456.04

June 9, 2020

Scientists have founded a new exoplanet-star pair having resemblance to Sun-Earth system.

About:

The Planet candidate, KOI-456.04 is similar in size and orbit to the Earth we live on. It sits in the system of the Kepler 160, a sun-like star, which is believed to have three planets in its system.
The star Kepler-160 and its companion KOI-456.04 are more reminiscent of the Sun-Earth system than any previously known exoplanet-star pair, according to a team of scientists led by the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Gottingen, Germany.
