Kepler-138 [SEP] constellation
Kepler-138
Kepler-138, also known as KOI-314, is a red dwarf located in the constellation Lyra, 218 light years from Earth. It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft, the satellite that NASA's Kepler Mission used to detect planets that may be transiting their stars.
The star hosts three confirmed planets, including the lowest-mass planet with a measured mass and size discovered to date, Kepler-138b, with a mass comparable to that of Mars. Kepler-138d is remarkable for resembling a miniaturized gas giant
-rich world, but it might also be a hostile gas planet.
