Though we don’t have a catchy nickname for Kepler-708 b yet, it’s part of the thrilling treasure trove of planets found by Kepler’s trusty CCD Array. While details on its size and orbit are still a bit mysterious, Kepler-708 b is a shining example of the exciting worlds beyond our solar system, quietly circling its star in the vastness of space, waiting for curious explorers to learn more about its secrets.
