Kepler-353 is 1,255 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 3,903 K star; the first was found in 2014 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-353 b goes round its star every 5.80 days, 15 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Kepler-353 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-353 and its planets are drawn.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-353 b | 5.80 days | 0.0510 AU | 0.89 R⊕ | 0.64 M⊕ estimated | Transit, 2014 |
| Kepler-353 c | 8.41 days | 0.0650 AU | 1.38 R⊕ | 2.48 M⊕ estimated | Transit, 2014 |
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 3,903 K, 0.065 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.26 to 0.50 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.
