Meet K2-391 b, a sizzling little world discovered in 2022 by the watchful eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope's CCD Array as it danced past its star, K2-391. This exoplanet cozies up close to its host star, making it an ultra-hot place where temperatures soar and the concept of "mild weather" is just a whimsical dream. Orbiting in the K2 field of view, K2-391 b was spotted using the transit method, which cleverly detects tiny dips in starlight as the planet crosses its star's face. While it’s far from Earth and likely a rocky planet scorched by its star’s fierce embrace, K2-391 b offers a glimpse into the fiery extremes of distant solar systems—a cosmic reminder of the wild variety of planets awaiting adventurous explorers in the galaxy!
