Kepler-130 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.00 solar masses, 5,879 K, 1.17 solar radii), 317 light-years from Earth. Kepler-130 b is a planet with 1.0 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 8.5 days, at 0.079 AU from its star, discovered in 2014 via transit. Kepler-130 c is a planet with 2.9 Earth radii, with an orbital period of 27.5 days, at 0.178 AU from its star, and an equilibrium temperature near 683 K, discovered in 2014 via transit. Mutual gravitational tugs between the planets can slowly reshape their orbits, preserving clues to the system's assembly.
