Kepler-62f

Kepler-62f (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-701.04) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the star Kepler-62, the outermost of five such planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. It is located about 1,200 light-years (370 parsecs, or nearly 1.135×1016 km) from Earth in the constellation of Lyra. The exoplanet was found by using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. Kepler-62f may be a terrestrial or ocean-covered planet; it lies within the outer part of its host star's habitable zone.
