Welcome to K2-239 c, a fascinating world orbiting the cool, dim star K2-239! Discovered back in 2018 by the keen eyes of the Kepler CCD Array aboard the space-based K2 mission, this planet was uncovered using the transit method — essentially, it winked at us as it passed in front of its star. While K2-239 c might not have a formal name yet, it’s certainly caught the attention of astronomers eager to understand the variety of worlds out there. Though smaller and closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun, K2-239 c invites curiosity about what it might be like to circle such a charming, distant star. A delightful glimpse into the diversity of the cosmos!
