Kepler-1649c
Kepler-1649c is an exoplanet currently orbiting the red dwarf star Kepler-1649. It is located 300 light years from earth and is described by Jeff Coughlin the director of SETI's K2 Science Office as the most "similar planet to Earth" found by Kepler Space Telescope that is within its stars habitable zone. Originally deemed a false positive by Kepler's robovetter algorithm. Until the Kepler False Positive Working Group managed to identify it as legitimate exoplanet on the 15th of April, 2020.

Mass and Orbit
The exoplanet has been identified as a rocky planet by NASA and is very similar to Earth in terms of size being only 1.06 times larger than the radius of the earth Kepler-1649c orbits its host star Kepler-1649 an M-Type, red dwarf every 19.5 days. It orbits within the habitable zone of its star system.

Climate
Very little is known of Kepler-1649c's climate, however it is estimated to be very similar to Earths own temperature. Receiving only 75% of the light from its host star, when compared to what Earth receives from the Sun. It is still unclear as to what the composition of Kepler-1649c's atmosphere is.

Host Star & Neighbouring Planets
Kepler-1649 is a type-M red dwarf star with only two confirmed planets in its orbit, the other being Kepler-1649b. Interestingly, Kepler-1649b is similar to Venus from our own solar system. Both orbit at roughly half the distance from its host star when compared to Kepler-1649c and Earth Respectively, and both are also rocky planets of very similar size.

Habitability
While the exoplanet does orbit within its stars habitable zone, due to the lack of information on the exoplanets Atmosphere, it is unclear if Kepler-1649c can sustain liquid water on its surface. It should also be noted its host star a red dwarf is notorious for frequent solar flare activity which may further hinder the prospect of life on the exoplanets surface.With frequent flares stripping its atmosphere. Despite this, no such activity from the system has been observed just yet.
