Meet K2-326 b, a charming exoplanet orbiting the star K2-326, discovered in 2020 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler space telescope's CCD array. This little world was spotted as it happily transited, or passed in front of, its star, briefly dimming the starlight and giving away its presence. While K2-326 b's exact distance from Earth might be a mystery for now, it orbits within the intriguing K2 campaign field, a cosmic playground where astronomers hunt for distant planets. Though we don’t know if it hosts alien life or has a sunny beach, K2-326 b sparks our imagination as a distant member of the vast galactic neighborhood, reminding us how much more there is to explore beyond our solar system.
