Kepler-1086 is 1,520 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 4,350 K star; the first was found in 2016 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-1086 b goes round its star every 18.8 days, 5 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Kepler-1086 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-1086 and its planets are drawn.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-1086 b | 18.8 days | 0.120 AU | 2.44 R⊕ | 6.53 M⊕ estimated | Transit, 2016 |
| Kepler-1086 c | 161.5 days | 0.503 AU | 2.94 R⊕ | 8.96 M⊕ estimated | Transit, 2016 |
Values are the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s composite parameters. A radius marked estimated comes from a mass–radius relation; a mass marked minimum is M sin i. Planet sizes and colours in the 3D view are renderings: none of these worlds has been photographed as more than a point of light.
For a star of 4,350 K, 0.14 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.38 to 0.70 AU. 1 of its 2 known planets orbits inside it. The zone says how much starlight arrives, not whether a planet has water or air. The edges follow Kopparapu et al. (2014), as the 3D view draws them.
