Kepler-188 c is a charming little world orbiting the star Kepler-188, discovered back in 2014 thanks to the keen eyes of the Kepler space telescope's trusty CCD array. This planet doesn’t dazzle with a flashy proper name, but it makes up for it with cosmic character! Found by watching it gently transit, or pass in front of its star, Kepler-188 c is part of a fascinating planetary system located far beyond our own neighborhood in space. Imagine standing on its surface (if you could) and catching a glimpse of its parent star—a steady beacon in the celestial dark. While it’s too distant to visit anytime soon, Kepler-188 c remains a delightful prize in the quest to find new and exciting worlds among the stars.
