Kepler-22 b orbits a Sun-like G-type star 600 light-years distant, with a radius of 2.4 × Earth suggesting possible ocean coverage. It circles every 290 days at 0.85 AU, comfortably within the habitable zone. As an early Kepler discovery in such a zone, it bridges smaller rocky worlds and larger gaseous ones, offering clues to diverse planetary climates. It stands eternally in the Galactic Codex, reminding us of the variety of potentially habitable environments awaiting exploration.
