Kepler-1887 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.96 solar masses, 5,749 K, 0.86 solar radii), 1,366 light-years from Earth. Kepler-1887 b is a planet with 2.9 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 19.9 days, discovered in 2021 via transit. The planet was found when it crossed the face of its star, producing periodic dips in brightness that reveal its size and orbital period to space-based photometry. At roughly 1,366 light-years, Kepler-1887 lies far beyond the nearest stars yet remains reachable to large survey telescopes.
