About this world
EPIC 212499991 b is a super-Earth orbiting EPIC 212499991, an orange dwarf 924 light-years from Earth. It is about 1.6 times the size of Earth. It completes an orbit every 34.9 days at 0.2 AU from its star, closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
Its equilibrium temperature is about 465 K (192 °C): far too hot for liquid water on its surface. By the "cosmic shoreline", it has likely held on to an atmosphere.
It was discovered in 2019 by transit with K2. A planet crosses its star and dims it by a tiny, periodic fraction.
