Kepler-995 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.83 solar masses, 5,206 K, 0.80 solar radii), 610 light-years from Earth. Kepler-995 b is a planet with 2.7 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 28.3 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 610 light-years, Kepler-995 lies far beyond the nearest stars yet remains reachable to large survey telescopes.
