- Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. TrES-4b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2006 and announced in 2007 by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey using the transit method. It is 1,400 light-years (430 pc) away in the constellation Hercules. TrES-4 orbits its primary star GSC 02620-00648 every 3.5 days and eclipses it when viewed from Earth. It is 0.919 times as massive as Jupiter but 1.799 times the diameter, the largest planet ever found (next to WASP-17b, and that was on 1 May 2009), giving it an average density of only about 0.333 grams per cubic centimetre. This made TrES-4 both the largest known planet and the planet with the lowest known density at the time of its discovery.
