Kepler-938 b is an intriguing alien world discovered in 2016 by the Kepler space telescope using the transit method, where astronomers spot tiny dips in starlight as the planet crosses its star. This planet orbits a star named Kepler-938, far beyond our solar system. Though we don’t have a catchy nickname for it yet, Kepler-938 b is part of the exciting group of exoplanets that help us understand the vastness of space and the variety of worlds out there. Peering at this distant world through the Kepler CCD Array opened a window into the cosmos, inviting us to dream about what it might be like on a planet circling a star so far from Earth. It’s a cosmic neighbor worth keeping an eye on!
