K2-3 c is an intriguing exoplanet orbiting the star K2-3, discovered in 2015 using the clever transit method by the Kepler Space Telescope’s CCD array. This space-dwelling world is part of the bustling K2 system, where it gracefully sweeps across its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that let astronomers know it was there. While it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, K2-3 c is a notable member of this multi-planet neighborhood beyond our solar system. It’s a fantastic example of how we can detect distant planets by watching their stars wink at us from light-years away, making the cosmic dance between star and planet a fascinating tale of discovery!
