It’s one of those distant cosmic gems detected when it passed in front of its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that the Kepler CCD Array carefully recorded. Though it’s too far away for a quick visit from Earth, Kepler-885 b invites us to imagine alien skies and possibly exotic landscapes. It’s a reminder of the vast, wondrous universe out there, waiting for us to uncover more of its secrets!
