KOI-4878.01 is an exoplanet candidate that orbits the F-type main-sequence star KOI-4878. It is located about 1075 light years (329 parsecs) from Earth.[1][2][3] 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.[4] The orbital period of the exoplanet is around 449 Earth days. It is very likely located within the habitable zone of its parent star.[5][6]
