Meet 24 Sex c, a charming exoplanet orbiting the star 24 Sex, discovered back in 2010 using the trusty radial velocity method at the Lick Observatory with the Hamilton Echelle Spectrograph. This distant world is part of a cosmic duo, sharing its stellar neighborhood with a sibling planet, making 24 Sex a bustling little planetary system far beyond our solar system. While we don’t have an official nickname for 24 Sex c yet, it’s already exciting for astronomers who study how planets form and dance around their stars. Though still just a twinkle in our telescopes, 24 Sex c invites us to imagine what life could be like on a planet circling a star so many light-years away!
