Description: Kepler-69c: Super-Venus http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/multimedia/images/kepler-69c.html http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/742553main_Kepler69c_full.jpg The artist's concept depicts Kepler-69c, a super-Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a star like our sun, located about 2,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. Kepler-69c, is 70 percent larger than the size of Earth, and is the smallest yet found to orbit in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. Astronomers are uncertain about the composition of Kepler-69c, but its orbit of 242 days around a sun-like star resembles that of our neighboring planet Venus. Image credit: NASA Ames/JPL-Caltech
