KOI-4878.01 is an exoplanet candidate that orbits the G-type main-sequence star KOI-4878. It is distant from Earth. The features of the planet are very similar to that of Earth, and if it is confirmed, it would be one of the most Earth-like planets found. The orbital period of the exoplanet is around 449 days. It is located within the habitable zone of its parent stara region where water can exist at liquid state.

extrasolar planet

SWEEPS-11 is an extrasolar planet orbiting SWEEPS J175902.67−291153.5 in the constellation Sagittarius, approximately 27,710 light years away from the Solar System (based on a distance modulus of 14.1), making it (along with SWEEPS-04) the most distant exoplanet(s) known. This planet was found in 2006 by the Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search (SWEEPS) program that uses the transit method.

unconfirmed exoplanet

SWEEPS-10 is an extrasolar planet that, from June 2007 to August 2011, was the planet candidate with the shortest orbital period yet found, until PSR J1719-1438 b was discovered in 2011 with an even shorter orbit. The planet orbits the star SWEEPS J175902.00−291323.7 located in the Galactic bulge at a distance of approximately 22,000 light years from Earth (based on a distance modulus of 14.1).
