Kepler-69b is a confirmed exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-69, located at a distance of about 2700 light years (830 parsecs ) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus [1] . The planet was discovered by NASA 's Kepler space telescope using the transit method [1] [2] . This is the innermost planet of the Kepler-69 system. This planet is likely to be a hot super-earth or a mini-neptune [1] [2] .
