"The star [Kepler-186] is about half the size and about half the mass of the sun, so it's dimmer than the sun," said NASA and SETI scientist Elisa Quintana, lead researcher of the group that ...

The planet is one of five worlds orbiting a dwarf star known as Kepler-186 some 500 light years away in the constellation Cygnus. The other four worlds were discovered earlier in the Kepler data ...

Theoretical models predict most worlds this size should be rocky. The orbit of the exoplanet brings it around Kepler-186 once every 130 days. The planet lies at the outer edge of the star's ...

Circling a star about 500 light-years away, planet Kepler 186-F may be the right temperature to allow liquid water to flow on its surface. Hari Sreenivasan talks to Tom Barclay of NASA Ames ...

The planet Kepler-186f is the fifth planet of the star Kepler-186, 490 light-years away. The planet has 1.11 times the Earth's mass. Its radius is 1.1 times that of Earth. Kepler-186f orbits at 32 ...

The new world is the outermost of five Earth-size planets discovered circling a red dwarf star called Kepler-186, which is about 500 light years away. Because the star is cooler than our sun ...

Kepler-186f is the fifth and outermost planet discovered orbiting around the dwarf star Kepler-186. The planets were discovered by the transit method, which detects potential planets as their ...

It sits some 490 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, and circles its home star, Kepler-186, in just 130 days. That star is an M-dwarf, smaller, dimmer and cooler than our sun.

The new planet is only 1.11 times the size of Earth, and with a year of 130 days, this puts it inside the habitable zone of the dwarf star called, unimaginatively, Kepler-186. According to NASA ...

Let’s take a tour through the top most habitable exoplanets that we know of so far: The first on the list is Kepler 186-f. “This is my personal favorite at the moment. Kepler 186-f was found ...

One of five planets orbiting a red dwarf star (called Kepler 186), Kepler-186f is 1.1 times wider than Earth. That means it's almost certainly a rocky planet too. The researchers estimate its mass ...
