K2-80 c is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star K2-80, discovered in 2016 thanks to the sharp eyes of the Kepler spacecraft's CCD array.

Nestled in the K2 mission field, K2-80 c invites us to imagine exotic skies and unfamiliar sunsets far beyond our solar system. Though details like its exact distance or size remain mysteries to ponder, the very fact that we've found K2-80 c highlights the wonders of space exploration and the endless possibilities of planets circling distant suns. It’s a tiny cosmic gem in the vast stellar neighborhood K2 helped reveal!
