It is an extrasolar planet (exo planet) orbiting Kepler-37 in the constellation Lyra.It was the smallest exoplanet ever found around a main sequence star.It has mass and radius greater than that of the Earth's moon.The planet along with two other planets Kepler 37-c and Kepler 37-d were discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
It is 3865 kilometers in diameter (2400 miles).The Kepler was observed using the transit method.It is 200 light years from the earth.The other two planets are 0.75 and two times the diameter of the earth. Asteroseismology is a technique used here.
The NASA did not find this work.A non-profit group called White Dwarf started The Pale Blue Dot Project to raise money to help researchers.They found it was a record breaking planet.
