Exoplanet: Kepler-10b Description The first rocky planet to be discovered by NASA's Kepler Mission, Kepler-10b is an exoplanet 1.4 times the size of our Earth. An exoplanet is any identified planet outside of our own Solar System. As of June 2013, there have been 866 exoplanets identified, located around 671 stars, nearly all within the Milky Way Galaxy. Kepler-10b has a density 4.6 times that of Earth, or similar to an iron dumbbell.
A team of astronomers has measured the mass and size of a Mars-sized planet orbiting a red dwarf star about 200 light years from our solar system. The planet, named Kepler-138b, is the first exoplanet smaller than Earth to have both its mass and its size measured. Planet Kepler-138b is one of three planets that orbit the star Kepler-138 and that pass in front of it on every orbit as viewed from Earth â a maneuver that astronomers call a transit.
