Meet Kepler-1801 b, a charming exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-1801, discovered in 2021 by the trusty Kepler space telescope using its keen CCD array eyes. This distant world was found by catching the tiny dip in starlight as the planet gracefully transited its host star, showcasing the clever transit method. While Kepler-1801 b doesn't yet have a fancy proper name to go by, it’s already part of the exciting growing family of planets beyond our solar system. Though we can’t say exactly how far it is from Earth right now, this cosmic neighbor invites us to imagine exotic landscapes and skies far from home, where the light of Kepler-1801 warms its orbiting companion in the vastness of space.
