K2-107 b is a sizzling hot exoplanet orbiting the star K2-107, discovered back in 2017 using the trusty Kepler space telescope’s CCD array. This fiery world was spotted through the transit method, where it briefly dimmed its star’s light as it passed in front. Located in the K2 mission’s stellar neighborhood, K2-107 b is a close-in planet, snuggled tightly to its star, making it scorchingly warm and far from a cozy getaway. While it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, this planet’s discovery adds to our growing cosmic census of intriguing, extreme worlds beyond our solar system. If you ever get a chance to visit the K2 system, just remember—no sunscreen strong enough for K2-107 b’s blazing heat!
