Kepler-452b is the first near-Earth-size planet discovered around a sun-size star, located 1,000 light years from Earth, and was found on July 23, 2015. It is 60% larger than Earth and orbits its host star, Kepler-452, every 385 days; the star is 10% larger than our sun and about 6 billion years old. Considered a super-Earth, there is a better than 50% chance that Kepler-452b may be a rocky planet.

first NEAR-EARTH-
SIZE planet
discovered around
a sun-size star

3. Kepler-452b was
discovered in July 23,
2015.

4. Kepler-452b was the
first Earth-size planet
discovered around a
near solar twin, the
discovery of Kepler-
452b brings us closer
than ever to finding an
Earth-like planet.

7. Planet Comparison
Kepler-452b
Earth
Kepler-452b is 60% larger than Earth

8. Star Comparison
Kepler-452 Our Sun
Kepler-452 is 10% larger than our Sun.

9. The star, Kepler-452, is 6 billion
years old, 1.5 billion years older
than our sun, not all that long in
cosmic terms. Kepler-452b could
be though of an ‘bigger, older
cousin’ to Earth.

10. Did You Know?
Discovered a little more than 2 years
after the mission ended in 2013,
Kepler-452b demonstrates that
many gems remain to be
discovered in the massive
amounts of data that scientists
are still sifting through. The
Kepler telescope is still operating
under a new mission kcalled K2.

11. At 60% larger the Earth,
Kepler-452b is
considered a Super-
Earth. Little is yet known
about this class of
planets, but scientists
believe Kepler-452b’s
chance of being rocky
world is better than 50%.
