Kepler-62 f circles an orange dwarf K-type star 1200 light-years distant, with a radius of 1.4 × Earth. It completes an orbit every 267 days at 0.72 AU, residing in the habitable zone for liquid water possibilities. As part of a five-planet system, its rocky nature and temperate conditions make it a benchmark for Earth-like worlds around slightly cooler stars. This enduring entry in the Galactic Codex highlights the diversity of habitable environments, expanding our sense of wonder about planetary systems mirroring our own across the galaxy.
