Meet EPIC 201170410.02, a charming exoplanet discovered in 2020 thanks to the keen eye of NASA’s K2 mission using the trusty Kepler telescope’s CCD array. This distant world orbits its star, EPIC 201170410, far beyond our Solar System, and was found by catching the tiny flicker as it passed in front of its host star—a clever method called the transit technique. While we don’t have all the juicy details about its size or makeup just yet, EPIC 201170410.02 is part of the thrilling hunt to understand planets beyond our own cosmic neighborhood. It’s a wonderful reminder that even in the vastness of space, there are countless new worlds waiting to dazzle us!
