Meet K2-400 b, a lively little world orbiting the star K2-400, discovered in 2022 thanks to the eagle eyes of the Kepler CCD Array aboard a space telescope. This planet was spotted using the transit method, which means it playfully dims its star’s light as it passes in front, like a cosmic game of peek-a-boo! Nestled in the K2 mission’s stellar neighborhood, K2-400 b is part of a vast galaxy packed with intriguing planets waiting to be explored. While it doesn't have a fancy proper name yet, its discovery adds another exciting chapter to our ongoing journey to find new and fascinating worlds beyond our solar system. It’s a neat reminder of how much there is to uncover just beyond our cosmic doorstep!
