Confirmed exoplanet · Database record + computed analysis
Kepler-441 b
A confirmed world orbiting Kepler-441, 874.1 light-years away.
A super-Earth
1.64 Earth radii. Worlds between Earth and Neptune in size are the most common in the galaxy, yet our Solar System has none, which is why each one matters.
The orbit
Its year takes 207 Earth days (0.6 Earth years).
Temperature and starlight
Its equilibrium temperature (the airless-world estimate) is about -84 °C. It receives 0.21 times Earth's starlight, the same order as our own world.
Its sun
Its star is an orange K-type (4,340 K): cooler and longer-lived than the Sun, a class some astronomers consider ideal for habitability.
How far is that, really?
At 874 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year 1151. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 15,465,252 years to get there.
How we found it
It was found by the transit method: the planet crosses its star's face on schedule, dimming it by a tiny, repeating fraction. The dip's depth gives the planet's size. The discovery was announced in 2015 from Kepler.
Everything above is computed from the archive’s measured values for this planet. Where a quantity is missing, the statement is omitted rather than guessed.
About this record
The measured values come from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and any missing value has not been determined yet; the Atlas never fills gaps with guesses. More standout worlds: Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1e, K2-18 b, 55 Cancri e, and the detection methods that found them all.
