K2-98 b is a charming little exoplanet orbiting the star K2-98, discovered back in 2016 by the keen eyes of the Kepler space telescope's CCD array. This world was found using the transit method, which means it was spotted as it gracefully passed in front of its star, causing just a tiny dip in brightness. Located in the K2 mission's observational field, K2-98 b likely offers a close-up experience of a star's warm embrace—though it’s certainly no place for an Earth-style vacation! While we don't have its exact distance from Earth, this planet represents a fascinating glimpse into the diverse family of worlds beyond our solar system, reminding us how vast and varied the cosmos truly is.
