K2-28 b orbits a cool, dim star named K2-28 and was discovered in 2016 thanks to the watchful Kepler space telescope using its trusty CCD array. This fascinating exoplanet belongs to the vibrant K2 mission family, where planets announce their presence by gently blocking a bit of their star’s light during transit. While we don’t have its exact distance from Earth here, K2-28 b’s orbit around a smaller star makes it an intriguing world for scientists and space enthusiasts alike. Imagine a planet that might be warmer than our own Earth but cozy around a red dwarf star—definitely a cool cousin in the cosmic neighborhood worth keeping an eye on!
