Kepler-1126 is 2,074 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 5,798 K star; the first was found in 2016 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-1126 c takes 199.7 days to go round its star once.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-1126 b | 108.6 days | 0.413 AU | 1.73 R⊕ | 3.64 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 5,798 K, 0.80 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.85 to 1.49 AU. None of its 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.
