Meet K2-240 c, a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star K2-240, discovered back in 2018 using the trusty Kepler space telescope’s CCD array. This world was spotted as it calmly transited across its star, giving us a cosmic peek through the transit method. While it doesn’t yet have a fancy proper name, K2-240 c certainly earns attention for its place in the K2 mission’s treasure trove of discoveries. Imagine a planet dancing closely to its star, captured from millions of miles away by a space telescope that’s like a heavenly detective. Although we aren’t exactly sure how far it is from Earth, K2-240 c invites us to dream about the endless diversity of planets scattered across the galaxy!
