KIC 10001893 d
The parameters of this planet are disputed or ambiguous in the scientific literature.
KIC 10001893 d is a exoplanet orbiting KIC 10001893 in the constellation Lyra. It lies about 5,456 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2014 using the orbital brightness modulation method.
Is KIC 10001893 d in the Habitable Zone?
The position of KIC 10001893 d relative to the habitable zone of KIC 10001893 cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Orbit and Year Length
A year on KIC 10001893 d — one full orbit around KIC 10001893 — lasts just 19.5 hours, shorter than Mercury's 88-day year.
How Was KIC 10001893 d Discovered?
KIC 10001893 d was discovered in 2014 using the orbital brightness modulation method, with observations from Kepler.
Orbital brightness modulation detects a planet from minute periodic changes in the combined light of the system as the planet orbits — including light reflected by the planet and relativistic effects it induces on the star.
How Far Away Is KIC 10001893 d?
KIC 10001893 d is 5,456.4 light-years (1,672.9 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 5,456 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 96,032,640 years to make the journey.
