Meet Kepler-602 b, a distant world orbiting the star Kepler-602, discovered in 2016 thanks to the clever eyes of the Kepler space telescope's CCD array. This exoplanet was spotted using the transit method, where it gracefully passes in front of its star, giving us a tiny but telling wink from far away in the cosmos. While we don’t have a catchy nickname for Kepler-602 b yet, its discovery adds another exciting chapter to our quest of exploring planets beyond our solar system. Picture it as a mysterious celestial neighbor, quietly circling its star light-years from Earth, inviting future explorers to uncover its secrets and maybe even dream about what kinds of skies you’d see standing on its surface.
