Exoplanet: Kepler-10b Description The first rocky planet to be discovered by NASA's Kepler Mission, Kepler-10b is an exoplanet 1.4 times the size of our Earth. An exoplanet is any identified planet outside of our own Solar System. As of June 2013, there have been 866 exoplanets identified, located around 671 stars, nearly all within the Milky Way Galaxy. Kepler-10b has a density 4.6 times that of Earth, or similar to an iron dumbbell.
The exoplanet orbits an orange, type K star, lying roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth. Credit: David A. Aguilar (CfA) A newfound alien planet is one for the record books. The alien planet Kepler-421b â which crosses the face of, or transits, its host star from Earth's perspective â takes 704 Earth days to complete one orbit, and thus has the longest year known for any transiting alien world, researchers said. (For comparison, Earth orbits the sun once every 365 days, and Mars completes a lap every 780 days.)
