Here’s an interesting new Kepler planet: Kepler-1655b, a gaseous Mini-Neptune that is one of very few planets its size to have a mass measurement. It is 2.2 times the radius of Earth and 5 times the mass, and gets about 147 times more sunlight than Earth. Because the planet orbits so close to the region where atmospheric loss will take hold, it is an interesting target for further study.
