KIC 10068024 b
A confirmed world orbiting KIC 10068024, 2,351.9 light-years away.
A gas giant
13.40 Earth radii, Jupiter-class (Jupiter is 11.2). At only 635.7 Earth masses for that size, it must be substantially gas or volatile ices: puffy, not rocky. Orbiting this close, it is a classic 'hot Jupiter', a giant that migrated inward from where it formed.
The orbit
Its year, one full orbit, takes just 2.1 Earth days.
Its sun
Its star is hotter than the Sun (6,118 K), burning brighter and faster.
How far is that, really?
At 2,352 light-years, tonight's light from this system left it around the year -325. A Voyager-speed probe would need roughly 41,611,737 years to get there.
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.
