Similar to Kepler 16b this planet orbits two stars, however unlike Kepler 16b this planet falls in the habitable zone. The planet is twice the size of Earth with 99.9% of its surface covered in water around a rocky core. Similar to Earth this planet is orbited by only one rocky moon similar in size to Ganymede. The light blue spot seen on the planets surface is actually a massive bloom of a microscopic plant similar to Earths phytoplankton. Do to the absence of large mammals or amphibians on this planet, and a relatively alkaline water, these microscopic plants can flourish in large numbers.
