K2-170 b is an intriguing exoplanet orbiting the star K2-170, discovered back in 2018 using the clever transit method with the help of the Kepler Space Telescope's CCD Array. This means we spotted it by observing the tiny dip in starlight as the planet elegantly passed in front of its star, like a cosmic shadow puppet show. While we don’t have a snappy proper name for this world yet, K2-170 b still holds an air of mystery and excitement. Located in a distant region of space studied by the K2 mission, it’s a fantastic example of the diverse planets lurking beyond our solar system, inviting curious minds to imagine what adventures a visitor might encounter there!
