 Kepler-14's nature as a close binary star was almost missed by the astronomers, and would not have been known if high-resolution imaging of the star had not been undertaken.The Kepler team acknowledged that a number of transiting planets' host stars may have actually been close visual binaries, and that the assumed characteristics of the stars and their planets may be incorrect.As a result of their studies into Kepler-14, the Kepler team suggested the implementation of a high-resolution imaging campaign to re-examine transiting planet hosts, an effort which would require only a modest amount of telescope time.
