Psi 1 Dra B b is an intriguing exoplanet orbiting the star Psi 1 Dra B, discovered back in 2015 using the clever radial velocity method at the McDonald Observatory.

While we don’t yet have a catchy proper name for Psi 1 Dra B b, it stands as a fascinating example of planets found through ground-based observations. Picture a distant planet circling its star many light-years away, silently journeying through the cosmos, waiting for curious Earthlings to uncover more of its secrets!
