Kepler-1928 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.01 solar masses, 5,720 K, 0.92 solar radii), 326 light-years from Earth. Kepler-1928 b is a planet with 2.0 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 19.6 days, at 0.194 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.43), 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. The planet's marked eccentricity suggests past scattering events or perturbations from unseen companions.
