Meet HD 18438 b, a newly discovered exoplanet orbiting the star HD 18438, spotted in 2023 from Earth’s very own Bohyunsan Optical Astronomical Observatory using the trusty BOES Echelle Spectrograph. This distant world revealed itself through the subtle dance of radial velocity—a clever technique that catches the wobbles of its host star as the planet tugs on it from afar. Although details like its exact size or distance from Earth remain a cosmic mystery for now, HD 18438 b invites us to imagine a distant realm circling silently in the vast galaxy. It’s a fresh chapter in our ongoing quest to explore the universe, one orbit at a time!
