A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on May 14, 2011.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that, at the time of its discovery, KOI-428 was the largest and most evolved star known to host a transiting planet?

Comment

There is an inconsistency (in two places) in the description of KOI-428. In the sidebar it is reported as having a mass of 1.48 M(sun), and in the introduction as "approximately 1.5 times more massive than the Sun." However, at two other places in the text (in Observational History and in Characteristics), it is described as having a mass "over 1.8 times that of the Sun."75.48.21.214 (talk) 05:01, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
