Worth knowing

Kepler-132 b goes round its star every 6.18 days, 14 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

Kepler-132 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-132 and its planets are drawn.

Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
