Orbiting the star Rho Coronae Borealis, the intriguing exoplanet rho CrB c was discovered in 2016 thanks to the diligent efforts of astronomers using the radial velocity method. This method, akin to detecting a subtle cosmic dance, tracks the tiny wobbles in the star’s movement caused by the planet’s gravitational tug. Although it doesn’t have a fancy proper name yet, rho CrB c is a captivating member of its star system, observed through multiple ground-based observatories and instruments. It invites us to imagine a distant world circling its sun in the constellation Corona Borealis, quietly awaiting further exploration and perhaps someday, a more poetic moniker.
