Kepler-62c

Kepler-62c is an approximately Mars-sized exoplanet (extrasolar planet) discovered in orbit around the star Kepler-62, the second innermost of five such planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft. It is the second smallest exoplanet after Kepler-37b to be discovered and confirmed with Kepler spacecraft. It was found using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured. Its stellar flux is 25 ± 3 times Earth's.
