Kepler-62
Kepler-62 is a star somewhat cooler and smaller than the Sun in the constellation Lyra, 990 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. On April 18, 2013 it was announced that the star has five planets, two of which, Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f are within the star's habitable zone. The outermost, Kepler-62f, is likely a rocky planet.
