February 4, 2014 * RELEASE 14-041 * * Kepler Finds a Very Wobbly Planet * This illustration shows the unusual orbit of planet Kepler-413b around a close pair of orange and red dwarf stars.

The orbit of the planet wobbles around the central stars over 11 years, an effect called precession. This planet is also very unusual in that it can potentially precess wildly on its spin axis, much like a child's ...Continue Reading
