Spotted by the Kepler space telescope using its trusty CCD array, this exoplanet reveals its presence by gently dimming its star’s light as it passes in front—like a cosmic game of peekaboo! While we don’t know its exact size or surface conditions yet, Kepler-218 b adds to the growing family of fascinating planets beyond our solar system, showing just how diverse and lively the galaxy is.
