Kepler-966 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.02 solar masses, 5,840 K, 1.02 solar radii), 1,028 light-years from Earth. Kepler-966 b is a planet with 4.1 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 99.7 days, discovered in 2016 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 1,028 light-years, Kepler-966 lies far beyond the nearest stars yet remains reachable to large survey telescopes.
