Orbiting the star K2-95, discovered back in 2016 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler spacecraft, K2-95 b is an exciting exoplanet found using the transit method—where the planet elegantly sweeps in front of its star, casting a tiny shadow that tells astronomers it’s there. This distant world lies in the cool neighborhood of the K2 mission’s observational field, offering a fresh chapter in the ongoing story of planets beyond our solar system. While it doesn't have a fancy proper name yet, K2-95 b invites us to ponder the vastness of space and the diversity of planets that might harbor unique environments or even surprising possibilities. It’s a delightful discovery reminding us how much there is still to explore!
