Worth knowing

Kepler-390 b goes round its star every 6.74 days, 13 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.

Kepler-390 is one of 2 stars in its system: the other is drawn where the Washington Double Star Catalog measures it on the sky.

The other star

Kepler-390 B has no spectral type listed of magnitude 12.6, judged a true companion. In 2016 it was 20.7″ from Kepler-390, at position angle 24° (Washington Double Star Catalog, 19265+4112 DEA 412): 9,010 AU on the sky at this distance. The true distance can only be larger. Its colour is estimated from its brightness.

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.
