Kepler-22 is a sun-like star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan, that is orbited by a planet found to be unequivocally within the star's habitable zone. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension  19h 16m 52.2s, Declination +47° 53′ 4.2″.[6] With an apparent visual magnitude of 11.7,[3] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It can be viewed with a telescope having an aperture of at least 4 in (10 cm).[7] The estimated distance to Kepler-22 is 638 light-years (196 parsecs).[2]
