Meet Kepler-995 b, a tiny world orbiting the star Kepler-995 far out in the cosmic neighborhood. Discovered in 2016 by the clever Kepler space telescope using the transit method, this planet reveals itself by momentarily dimming its star’s light as it passes in front. Although it doesn’t have a proper name yet, Kepler-995 b adds to the growing family of distant planets that help us understand the diversity of worlds beyond our own solar system. While details about its size or composition might be mysterious, its discovery reminds us just how much there is to explore in space. So imagine Kepler-995 b as a quiet celestial traveler, patiently circling its star in the grand cosmic dance far beyond Earth’s view.
