Meet Kepler-91 b, an extraordinary exoplanet orbiting the giant star Kepler-91 far out in space. Discovered in 2013 by the Kepler Space Telescope, this fascinating world was spotted using the transit method, where it briefly dims its star’s light as it passes by. Kepler-91 b is a massive gas giant, much larger than Jupiter, and cozily hugging its star so closely it’s sizzling hot, likely wrapped in thick clouds of exotic gases. Its tight orbit around a bright giant star means it’s not the best candidate for life as we know it, but it’s an exciting example of the diverse planets that exist in our galaxy. Kepler-91 b invites you to dream about the wild, dynamic planetary systems out there among the stars!
