Astronomers used NASA’s planet-hunting TESS satellite to find a “super-Earth” as well as a possible Earth-size planet, both orbiting a star 137 light-years away.

NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS has spotted a 'super-Earth' in the habitable zone of its red dwarf star, with indications it may have Earth-sized company.

NASA has identified a potential "super-Earth," TOI-715 b, 137 light-years away, with characteristics suggesting a habitable zone and potential for liquid water. Orbiting a red dwarf, the planet completes an orbit in just 19 days. The discovery, made by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), presents opportunities for further exploration using the James Webb telescope. While much depends on TOI-715 b's properties, this breakthrough enhances our understanding of distant planets and the potential for extraterrestrial life.

NASA announced the discovery of a 'Super-Earth,' dubbed TOI-715b, orbiting in the habitable zone around a Red Dwarf Star named TOI-715, 137 light-years...

Our planet sits in the Habitable Zone of our Sun, the special place where water can be liquid on the surface of a world.
