Kepler-755 is 1,302 light-years from the Sun. The NASA Exoplanet Archive lists 2 planets around this 5,043 K star; the first was found in 2016 by transit (Kepler).
Fly there in 3DKepler-755 b goes round its star every 30.5 hours, 69 times as often as Mercury goes round the Sun.
Kepler-755 is one of 2 stars in its system. The position of the other star is not catalogued, so only Kepler-755 and its planets are drawn.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kepler-755 b | 30.5 hours | 0.0216 AU | 1.76 R⊕ | 3.75 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 5,043 K, 0.35 times as bright as the Sun, the habitable zone, where starlight could keep water liquid on a rocky surface, runs from about 0.59 to 1.06 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.
