K2-100 b is a cheerful little world orbiting the star K2-100, discovered in 2016 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope's CCD Array. This planet was found using the transit method, where it playfully passes in front of its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that tells us it's there. Nestled in the K2 mission field, K2-100 b is a close-in planet, likely sizzling under the warmth of its host star. Though it may not have a fancy proper name yet, K2-100 b is a shining example of how space telescopes help us find new worlds beyond our solar system, inviting us to dream about the vast cosmic neighborhood we call home.
