Learn about the first \"rocky\" planet discovered by NASA's Kepler Mission, Kepler-10b, which orbits its star 20 times closer than Mercury and has a density similar to an iron dumbbell. See images, videos, and details of this exoplanet's features, such as its tidally locked structure, molten surface, and 20-hour orbit.

Kepler-10b is, to date, the smallest known rocky exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system (dark spot against yellow sun). This planet, which has a radius of This artist's conception depicts the Kepler-10 star system, located about 560 light-years away near the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. Kepler has discovered two planets around this star.
NASA spots hot, Earthlike The Age of Blasphemy
Known as Kepler-10b, the planet is just 1.4 times Earth 's size and 4.6 times its mass. The planet, found using NASA's Kepler spacecraft, is the first of the more than 500 known exoplanets.
What Is Kepler10b Like? Exploration Beyond
Kepler-10b is, to date, the smallest known rocky exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system (dark spot against yellow sun). This planet, which has a radius of 1.4 times that of Earth's, whips around its star every .8 days. Its discovery was announced in Jan. 2011.

NASA Jan 10, 2011 RELEASE 11-007 WASHINGTON - NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. Measuring 1.4 times the size of Earth, it is the smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system.
Kepler 10b Is The First Extrasolar Digital Art by Ron Miller
Kepler-10b was the first rocky planet detected by the Kepler satellite and con- firmed with radial velocity follow-up observations from Keck-HIRES. The mass of the planet was measured with a precision of around 30%, which was insufficient to constrain models of its internal structure and composition in detail.

Kepler-10 b is a super Earth exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. Its mass is 3.26 Earths, it takes 0.8 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.01685 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2011. ‹ Back to list Explore Alien Worlds Exoplanet Travel Bureau Strange New Worlds Historic Timeline

NASA 's Kepler mission confirmed the discovery of its first rocky planet, named Kepler-10b. Measuring 1.4 times the size of Earth, it is the smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system. The discovery of this so-called exoplanet is based on more than eight months of data collected by the spacecraft from May 2009 to early January 2010.
