Kepler-398 c is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-398, discovered in 2014 by the Kepler Space Telescope using the transit method. This technique involves spotting tiny dips in a star’s brightness as a planet gracefully passes in front of it, offering us a glimpse into distant worlds. Though it doesn’t yet have a catchy nickname, Kepler-398 c invites curiosity as a distant space dweller, orbiting a star far beyond our solar system. Thanks to the Kepler mission's sharp CCD array, we can appreciate this planet’s existence and imagine what it might be like to visit a world so different from our own, tucked away in the vastness of space. Its exact distance from Earth isn’t well publicized, but it’s one of many intriguing exoplanets expanding our cosmic neighborhood.
