Kepler-163 c is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-163, discovered back in 2014 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler Space Telescope's CCD Array.

While we don't have an official nickname for Kepler-163 c yet, it's part of the ever-growing family of intriguing distant worlds that expand our cosmic neighborhood. Floating somewhere far out in space, this planet sparks curiosity about its atmosphere and potential for surprises.
