Meet K2-29 b, a lively exoplanet orbiting the star K2-29, discovered back in 2016 with the trusty Kepler Space Telescope’s CCD Array during its K2 mission. This world is a classic example of a "transit" find, meaning it regularly passes in front of its star from our viewpoint, giving us a cosmic peekaboo moment. While we don’t have its exact proper name, K2-29 b’s charm lies in its ability to reveal the secrets of distant planetary systems. Though it’s far from Earth, its discovery highlights the incredible precision of space-based telescopes hunting for new worlds. It’s a fun reminder that the galaxy is brimming with planets, each with their own story just waiting to be explored!
