What if I told you there’s a planet out there, over 600 light-years away, that seems almost too perfect to exist? A world that shouldn’t even be possible, yet it’s sitting quietly in the vastness of space, teasing us with questions we can’t yet answer. Meet Kepler-22b, the alien planet that challenges everything we thought we knew about the cosmos.

Kepler-22b is no ordinary exoplanet—it’s something of a cosmic enigma. Discovered in 2011 by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, it’s one of the most fascinating planets ever found outside our solar system. What makes it so special, you ask? Well, for starters, it was the first exoplanet confirmed to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.
