Kepler 438b and 442b

"Kepler-438 is a red dwarf star in the constellation Lyra, about 470 light years from Earth."

And
"Two of the newly validated planets, Kepler-438b and Kepler-442b, are less than 1.5 times the diameter of Earth. Kepler-438b, 475 light-years away, is 12 percent bigger than Earth and orbits its star once every 35.2 days. Kepler-442b, 1,100 light-years away, is 33 percent bigger than Earth and orbits its star once every 112 days."

Edit:

"They're in as KOI 438 and 442 - nope - not NASA's fault - my mistake :-(
