Kepler-116 b is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-116, nestled in the Kepler star field discovered back in 2014 by the keen eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope’s trusty CCD Array. This world was spotted using the transit method, which means it was detected as it playfully passed in front of its star, causing a tiny dip in starlight. While the exact details about its size or atmospheric quirks remain a bit of a cosmic mystery, Kepler-116 b represents one of the many exciting worlds found by Kepler that broaden our understanding of planets beyond our solar system. Its discovery highlights the amazing work done from space, showing just how vast and varied our galaxy truly is!
