GJ 317 c is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star GJ 317, discovered back in 2018 using the trusty radial velocity method. The planet was spotted from the ground at the W. M. Keck Observatory, where the HIRES Spectrometer helped astronomers detect the subtle gravitational tug GJ 317 c exerts on its star. While this distant world doesn't have a catchy nickname yet, it’s an exciting part of the GJ 317 system, which lies far beyond our solar system. Imagine a planet orbiting a cool, dim star, pulling at it like a cosmic dance partner. GJ 317 c’s discovery adds another piece to the puzzle of understanding the diverse array of planets scattered across our galaxy.
