Destination 4 - Kepler 22
Kepler-22 is a Sun-like star located in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It hosts one known planet that lies within its habitable zone, making it a prime candidate for the study of potential life.
- Type: Sun-like G-type main-sequence star (G5V).
- Apparent Magnitude: 11.7 (too faint to be seen with the naked eye).
- Coordinates: Right Ascension: 19h 16m 52.2s, Declination: +47° 53′ 3.9″.
- Distance: Approximately 644 light years (197 parsecs) from Earth.
- Luminosity: Radiates 79% of the Sun's luminosity.
- Temperature: 5,518 K (slightly cooler than the Sun).
- Rotational Velocity: 0.6 km/s, indicating a slow rotation.
- Flare Activity: No detected flare activity, suggesting stability in its emissions.
- Spectral Type: G5V, indicating it is slightly smaller and cooler than the Sun.
- Habitable Zone: Hosts one known planet that lies in its habitable zone, potentially allowing liquid water.
