Meet Kepler-1840 b, a distant world circling the star Kepler-1840, discovered in 2021 by the trusty Kepler space telescope using the transit method. This exoplanet is part of the ever-growing family of curious planets found beyond our solar system, spotted thanks to the tiny dips in starlight as it passes in front of its star. Although we don’t have its exact distance from Earth, Kepler-1840 b lives far out in the cosmic neighborhood, orbiting a star that’s a glowing beacon in space. While we don’t have a friendly nickname for it yet, this planet invites explorers to imagine what it might be like on a world discovered by one of humanity’s cleverest space watchers. The adventure of discovery continues!
