Kepler-296c
Kepler-296c is a confirmed exoplanet located in the binary star system Kepler-296. It was discovered in 2014 by the Kepler space telescope using the transit method. During a study[1] [2]by members of the NASA Ames Research Center on two other planets in the Kepler-296 system, Kepler-296f and Kepler-296e, they were able to confirm that Kepler-296 c is an exoplanet with "more than 99% confidence".
 The following plot shows the approximate sizes of the planets in this system compared to planets in the Solar System.[1] | |
