16 Cygni B is about 85 light-years away from the earth. 16 Cygni B is a lot like the sun in mass and its temperature, but what is unusual
is that 16 Cygni B rotates around another star. This star is brighter and bigger. The name of this star is 16 Cygni A.
There is a planet that orbits 16 Cygni B. The name of that planet is 16 Cygni B b. It is too dim to
be visible on earth, but astronomers used an indirect method of finding the planet.
16 Cygni B b is 1.5 times more massive then Jupiter, and takes only 2.2 earth years to rotate once around 16 Cygni
B. The orbit of 16 Cygni B b is that of an oval so it comes near the planet,
but also drifts far away from the planet.
