GSC 03547-01402 | Cygnus |
HAT-P-7b (or Kepler-2b) is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2008. It orbits very close to its parent star GSC 03547-01402, and is both larger and more massive than Jupiter. Due to the extreme heat it receives from its star, the dayside temperature...

| x Kepler-5 b | Kepler-5 | Cygnus |
Kepler-5b is one of the first five planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. It is a Hot Jupiter that orbits a subgiant star that is more massive, larger, and more diffuse than the Sun is. Kepler-5 was first flagged as the location of a...

| x Kepler-6 b | Kepler-6 | Cygnus |
Kepler-6b is an extrasolar planet in the orbit of the unusually metal-rich Kepler-6, a star in the field of view of the NASA-operated Kepler spacecraft, which searches for planets that cross directly in front of, or transit, their host stars. It was...
