K2-384 b is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star K2-384, discovered back in 2022 using the trusty Kepler CCD Array aboard a space telescope. This little world was found by observing its transit, a clever method where astronomers catch the dip in starlight as the planet crosses in front of its host star. K2-384 b adds to the rich tapestry of planets revealed by the K2 mission, a successor to the original Kepler mission that has been busy scouting the galaxy for distant worlds. While we don’t have an exact distance here, its discovery highlights the incredible strides in space technology and our growing knack for spotting planets far beyond our solar system. It’s another exciting chapter in humanity’s ongoing quest to explore the cosmos!
