471325 Taowu (provisional designation 2011 KT 19, formerly nicknamed Niku (/ n iː k uː /)) is a trans-Neptunian object whose orbit is tilted 110° with respect to the planets' orbital plane. Thus, it has a nearly polar retrograde orbit around the Sun .
[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

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 ]

It’s the last planet to set in the west, a couple of hours before sunrise. Jupiter: Look high overhead in the evening and you’ll find the largest planet in our solar system.
The planet orbits a star named BD+14 4559. The star has a mass of 0.86 M ☉ and a radius of around 0.95 R ☉. It has a surface temperature of 5008 K and is likely about 3 billion years old based on its evolution and mass. In comparison, the Sun is about 4.6 billion years old [4] and has a surface temperature of 5778 K. [5]
