Kepler-62 f is a super-Earth discovered in 2013 by NASA’s Kepler telescope in the habitable zone of a K-type star. About 1.4 times Earth’s size, it orbits every 267 days, receiving slightly less light than Earth—enough for liquid water if it has a greenhouse atmosphere.
Likely rocky with possible oceans or ice sheets, it’s in a five-planet system with a sibling (62e) also habitable. No direct images, but it’s a prime target for JWST biosignature hunts.
This world sparked the “multiple habitable planets” hype, showing systems like ours aren’t rare.
