It is located within the field of vision of the Kepler spacecraft the satellite that NASA’s Kepler Mission used to detect planets that may be transiting their stars. On April 18 2013 it was announced that the star has five planets two of which Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f are likely solid planets[citation needed] within the star’s habitable zone.
