Kepler-419 is an F-type main-sequence star located about 3,280 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
The transit method that Kepler uses involves detecting dips in brightness in stars.
These dips in brightness can be interpreted as planets whose orbits move in front of their stars from the perspective of Earth.
[3] In comparison, the Sun is about 4.6 billion years old[8] and has a surface temperature of 5778 K.[9] The star's apparent magnitude, or how bright it appears from Earth's perspective, is 14.
In 2014 the discovery of a 7.3 MJ planet orbiting at 1.68 AU was announced, through the transit-timing variations method.
