Kepler-1950 b: A Rocky World Bigger Than Earth
Original: Name: Kepler-1950 b A potentially rocky world, larger than Earth. Distance from Earth: 2,274 light-years Year discovered
Kepler-1950 b is an exoplanet discovered in 2021 by NASA's Kepler telescope, located 2,274 light-years from Earth. Slightly larger than our planet at 1.527 times Earth's radius, it is considered potentially rocky and orbits its star every 10.78 days. Space enthusiasts are sharing details of the planet through NASA's Eyes on Exoplanets visualization tool.
Why now: Interest in exoplanet discoveries that could be rocky and Earth-like keeps drawing attention to NASA's catalog of worlds found by Kepler.
