Kepler-1402 b is an intriguing world orbiting the star Kepler-1402, discovered back in 2016 thanks to the clever space-based Kepler telescope using the transit method. This means we catch glimpses of it as it charmingly slips in front of its star, causing tiny dips in brightness that reveal its presence. While details about its size or atmosphere remain a bit of a cosmic mystery, this planet adds to the exciting family of exoplanets scattered across the Kepler field. Its discovery showcases the power of space technology to unlock distant worlds far beyond our solar system, inviting us to dream about the diversity of planets out there. Kepler-1402 b may be light-years away, but it's a shining example of exploration and discovery.
