How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18344136 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
B.
Gliese 581f
Gliese 581f is a proposed exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star Gliese 581, once considered a potentially habitable world but whose very existence remains unconfirmed and debated.
-
C.
Kepler-186f
Kepler-186f is an Earth-sized exoplanet located in the habitable zone of its red dwarf star, notable as one of the first potentially Earth-like worlds discovered outside our solar system.
