CoRoT-7b, the first extrasolar planet that was shown to be a rocky planet like Earth. CoRoT-7b orbits a main-sequence star, CoRoT-7, of spectral type K0 (an orange star, cooler than the Sun) that is about 500 light-years from Earth.
CoRoT-7 - Wikipedia
CoRoT-7 (TYC 4799-1733-1) is a binary star system made up of a late G-type star [1] and a M-dwarf star that was discovered in 2021. [3] The primary star has three exoplanets, [5] including CoRoT-7b, a super-Earth exoplanet that is remarkable due to its extremely high temperature (around 2000 °C) and very short orbital period, around 20 hours.
