Kepler 64c Solar System
The Kepler space telescope was NASA's first planet-hunting mission, assigned to search a portion of the Milky Way galaxy for Earth-sized planets orbiting stars outside our solar system. During nine years in deep space Kepler, and its second act, the extended mission dubbed K2, showed our galaxy contains billions of hidden quotexoplanets,quot many of which could be promising places for life. They
PH1b standing for quotPlanet Hunters 1quot, or by its NASA designation Kepler-64b, 4 is an extrasolar planet found in a circumbinary orbit in the quadruple star system Kepler-64.

NASA's Solar System Interactive also known as the Orrery is a live look at the solar system, its planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, as well as the real-time locations of dozens of NASA missions.
While Kepler-1649b orbits at about half the distance of Kepler-1649c, the true habitability prospects of the latter remain a mystery. The stability of their orbital ratios hints at a well-ordered system, yet uncertainties about Kepler-1649c's atmosphere and potential solar flare impacts raise questions about its ability to sustain life.
Kepler-64, also known as KOI-6464 and PH1, is a quadruple star system consisting of an F-type main sequence star, a Sun-like star and two red dwarf stars about 7,163 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. A gas giant planet about 23 the size of Saturn orbits two stars components Aa and Ab in the system. It is the first exoplanet discovered by the Planet Hunters project in 2012, and

On Earth, the daily rhythms of life sync to the sunrise and sunset of a single, bright star. But unlike our solar system, some planets have more than one sun. Using NASA's Kepler space observatory, scientists recently discovered a planetary system where two planets orbit two stars. The system, known as Kepler-47, provides the first evidence from Kepler that multiple planets can orbit a binary
Kepler-34, Kepler-35, Kepler-38, Kepler-64 and Kepler-413 -- multiple star systems located between 2,764 and 5,933 light-years away in the constellations of Lyra and Cygnus -- support a permanent habitable zone.
Kepler-64b Four Star Planet10.15.13 - An artist's illustration of Kepler-64b or PH1, a planet discovered by volunteers from the Planet Hunters citizen science project. PH1, shown in the foreground, is the first reported case of a planet orbiting a double-star that, in turn, is orbited by a second distant pair of stars. The phenomenon is called a circumbinary planet in a four-star system
