Kepler-23d is a super-Earth candidate orbiting the star Kepler-23, located in the constellation Cygnus.[2] The planet is 2.2 times wider than Earth[1] and is 0.0550 Jupiter masses.[2] The planet was located using data from the Kepler space telescope in 2014,[1] and was concluded to likely be a super-Earth.[1]
Habitability
The planet is a Venus-like exoplanet due to its proximity to its star; roughly 0.1240 AU away.[2] The planet hypothetically has a surface, although it would be almost similar to Venus’s landscape.[citation needed]
