Kepler-18 is a star with almost the same mass as the Sun in the Cygnus constellation.
Planetary system
The star is orbited by 3 confirmed planets, announced in 2011. In 2021, it was found the orbital plane of Kepler-18d is slowly changing, likely under the gravitational influence of the additional giant planet.{{citation|arxiv=2105.04318|year=2021|title=Systematic search for long-term transit duration changes in Kepler transiting planets|doi=10.1093/mnras/stab1359 |last1=Shahaf |first1=Sahar |last2=Mazeh |first2=Tsevi |last3=Zucker |first3=Shay |last4=Fabrycky |first4=Daniel |journal=Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society |volume=505 |issue=1 |pages=1293–1310 |doi-access=free |bibcode=2021MNRAS.505.1293S }}
