Original: Name: Kepler-1314 b A Neptune-like giant planet. Distance from Earth: 463 light-years Year discovered: 2016 Discovered b
Kepler-1314 b is a Neptune-like giant exoplanet located 463 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2016 by NASA's Kepler telescope, it has a radius about 5.11 times that of Earth and completes an orbit in just 5.42 days. Astronomy communicators are sharing the planet's profile alongside NASA's Eyes on Exoplanets visualisation, drawing renewed attention to the Kepler mission's catalog of worlds beyond the solar system.
Why now: Space enthusiasts are highlighting NASA's interactive exoplanet data, and the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics honored the discovery of the first exoplanet, keeping such worlds in the spotlight.
