Kepler-396 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.85 solar masses, 5,656 K, 1.06 solar radii), 224 light-years from Earth. Kepler-396 b is a 0.24-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 43.0 days, discovered in 2013 via transit. Kepler-396 c is a 0.06-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 88.5 days, discovered in 2013 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. Mutual gravitational tugs between the planets can slowly reshape their orbits, preserving clues to the system's assembly.
