Kepler-896 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.84 solar masses, 5,262 K, 0.81 solar radii), 2,335 light-years from Earth. Kepler-896 c is a planet with 3.1 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 29.5 days, at 0.179 AU from its star, and an equilibrium temperature near 515 K, discovered in 2023 via transit. Kepler-896 b is a planet with 2.5 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 145 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.
