Exoplanet Kepler-69c

Artist's concept depicts Kepler-69c, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star like our sun, located about 2,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Kepler-69c, is 70 percent larger than the size of Earth, and is the smallest yet found to orbit in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. Astronomers are uncertain about the composition of Kepler-69c, but its orbit of 242 days around a sun-like star resembles that of our neighboring planet Venus. NASA's Ames Research Center imanages Kepler's ground system development, mission operations and science data analysis. JPL managed the Kepler mission's development. Release date April 18, 2013.
