[3] [4] Only two years later, the longest period of a transiting planet was more than tripled by EPIC 248847494 b, which takes 3650 days to orbit its star. The shortest period is K2-137b, which takes just 0.18 days to orbit its star. There are 60 members of multi-planet systems. Yellow rows denote members of a multi-planet system

HD 209458 b is an exoplanet that orbits the solar analog HD 209458 in the constellation Pegasus, some 157 light-years (48 parsecs) from the Solar System.The radius of the planet's orbit is 0.047 AU (7.0 million km; 4.4 million mi), or one-eighth the radius of Mercury's orbit (0.39 AU (36 million mi; 58 million km)).
The planet orbits a faint 15th-magnitude star named KIC 8639908, which is located at right ascension 19 h 00 m 03.14 s and declination 40° 13′ 14.7″ , [1] in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is currently in the main sequence [ 10 ] with a spectral type of K5, [ 11 ] a mass of 0.546 M ☉ , and a radius of 0.540 R ☉ . [ 5 ]
