EPIC 206042996 b is a fascinating exoplanet discovered in 2019 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope’s CCD Array, keeping watch in the K2 mission. This world orbits the star EPIC 206042996 and was spotted as it gracefully passed in front of its host star, causing a slight, telltale dip in starlight — a cosmic wink that revealed its presence. While details about its size or composition remain a bit mysterious, this planet invites us to imagine an alien sky where its sun shimmers with a strange light, waiting for future explorers to uncover its secrets.
