HD 190360 c is an intriguing exoplanet orbiting the star HD 190360, discovered back in 2005 using the clever radial velocity method. This technique, which involves detecting tiny wobbles in the star caused by the planet’s gravitational tug, was conducted with the HIRES Spectrometer at the renowned W. M. Keck Observatory. Although it doesn’t have a fancy nickname yet, HD 190360 c is a fascinating world that adds to our growing cosmic family. Its discovery from the ground reminds us how much we can learn with powerful telescopes right here on Earth. While details about its size and atmosphere remain a mystery, HD 190360 c invites the imagination to wonder what kind of alien skies and landscapes it might boast, far beyond our solar system.
