Meet K2-227 b, a sizzling world orbiting the star K2-227, discovered in 2018 by the keen eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope’s CCD Array through the transit method. This fiery planet is a close-in neighbor to its star, whipping around so fast that its days are incredibly short. K2-227 b’s extreme proximity to its star likely makes it a scorched, rocky world, far too hot for any casual stargazing picnic. Its discovery in the K2 mission highlights how even modest dips in starlight can reveal entire alien worlds. While it might not have a fancy proper name yet, K2-227 b reminds us that the galaxy is brimming with fascinating planets just waiting to be explored.
