Pluribus - what planet does the signal come from?

09 November 2025
The signal originates from Kepler-22b, a real exoplanet about 600 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus

Orbiting within its star’s habitable zone, it’s often imagined as a world capable of sustaining life. In Pluribus, the signal from Kepler-22b feels both scientific and supernatural - a credible mystery rooted in real astronomy. 

Its distance and potential habitability make it the perfect vessel for a message that feels intimate and alien at once.

Kepler-22b has also appeared across modern science fiction as a kind of canvas for human imagination. 

It was the setting of Ridley Scott’s 2020 series Raised by Wolves, and was also mentioned in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (“Spock Amok”).
