K2-72 c is a charming little world orbiting the cool red dwarf star K2-72, discovered back in 2016 by the Kepler Space Telescope’s trusty CCD array using the transit method. Nestled in the K2 mission’s celestial neighborhood, this exoplanet is one of several companions dancing around its star, making it a delightful target for curious space explorers. While we don’t have its exact distance from Earth on hand, K2-72 c’s discovery adds to the growing family of small planets orbiting faint but intriguing stars, showing us how diverse and exciting the galaxy really is. It’s a reminder that in the vastness of space, even tiny worlds can hold big stories to tell!
