The parent star, Kepler-20, is not exactly a close neighbour, being 945 light years away.

Soon, even this would be swallowed by its expanding parent star.

It also orbits quite close to its parent star and takes 8/ days to complete an orbit.

No technical data is given about it, like the size, age, or average distance from its parent star.

Why is one of the discovered planets so close to its parent star?

HD 28185 b takes 1.04 years to orbit its parent star.

The planets are unusual in that they orbit near the parent star.

It was the Earth's parent star, receding always behind them.

The planet orbits the parent star in 525.8 9.2 days.

This is similar to the energy it receives from its parent star of about 40,000 W/m.
