Kepler-37b

EXOPLANET · the smallest one found

SIZE barely bigger than our MoonTYPE scorched rock

The smallest exoplanet ever found, hardly larger than our Moon, detected from the almost impossibly tiny shadow it casts crossing its star. Finding something this small hundreds of light years away has been compared to spotting a flea crawling across a car headlight from across a city. A barren, baked little rock, and a triumph of measurement.
