Meet GJ 3323 b, a charming exoplanet orbiting the diminutive red star GJ 3323. Discovered in 2017 using the keen eyes of the HARPS Spectrograph nestled at Chile’s La Silla Observatory, this world was found by tracking the subtle wobble of its host star through radial velocity. While details about its size and composition remain a bit mysterious, GJ 3323 b adds to the growing family of intriguing planets circling cool stars in our cosmic neighborhood. Though it may not yet have a catchy nickname, this little planet’s discovery highlights how ground-based telescopes continue to unveil new worlds beyond our solar system, inviting us to imagine what it might be like to visit a faraway landscape orbiting a quiet, red sun.
