K2-119 b is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star K2-119, discovered back in 2017 using the transit method from the spaceborne Kepler telescope’s CCD array. This planet was found during the K2 mission, an exciting phase of the Kepler space observatory’s hunt for distant worlds beyond our solar system. While details about its exact size and distance can be a bit elusive, K2-119 b is part of a growing family of intriguing planets that we detect when they pass in front of their stars, dimming their light just enough to catch the watchful eyes of our space instruments. Imagine peeking at a tiny cosmic shadow dancing across a star – that’s how we get these world snapshots from millions of miles away!
