The nearest star to our Earth is Proxima Centauri, a mere four and a quarter light years away. A journey of 2,000 light years would take one near Keplar 76b, a planet one and a half times the size of Jupiter.

Since 1995 hundreds of exoplanets have been discovered, but nearly all are like Kelpar 76b, gas giants sometimes called “hot Jupiters” because of their similarity to our neighbor. Most are also believed to be in single-planet systems, which is the case for Keplar 76b.
