Kepler-628 b is a fascinating exoplanet orbiting the star Kepler-628, discovered back in 2016 by the keen eyes of the Kepler space telescope’s CCD array. This little world was found using the transit method, meaning scientists spotted it by the tiny dip in starlight as it passed in front of its star. While we don’t have its proper name yet, Kepler-628 b invites us to imagine what kinds of skies it boasts in the far reaches of the Kepler constellation area. A cosmic newcomer to our catalog, it’s a reminder of how our universe is packed with planets waiting to be explored and understood. Though it’s tucked away beyond our night sky, Kepler-628 b thrills with its silent orbit light-years away.
