K2-104 b is a sizzling little world orbiting the star K2-104, discovered in 2016 thanks to the sharp eyes of the Kepler space telescope’s CCD array. This exoplanet was found as it gracefully transited, or passed in front of, its star, dimming the light just enough to catch the attention of astronomers. While its exact distance from Earth is still a cosmic secret, K2-104 b’s close-knit dance with its star likely makes it a scorcher, far too toasty for cozy life as we know it. So, if you’re dreaming of a hot getaway on a far-off world, K2-104 b might just be your fiery destination in the vast expanse of the K2 field!
