Kepler-186f is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Kepler-186,[4][5][6] about 490 light-years (151 pc) from the Earth.[1] It is the first planet with a radius similar to Earths to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star. NASAs Kepler spacecraft detected it using the transit method, along with four additional planets orbiting much closer to the star (all modestly larger than Earth).[5] Analysis of three years of data was required to find its signal. Pretty cool...
