Using data from Nasa’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellit's astronomers have discovered and characterized a habitable zone planet orbiting the nearby red dwarf star TOI-715 with a period of 19.3 days.
They’ve also demonstrated that there is possibly a second, smaller exoplanet with a period of 25.6 days, placing it just inside the outer edge of TOI-715’s habitable zone. This system represents the first Tess discovery to fall within this most conservative and widely applicable habitable zone.
TOI-715 hosts the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-715b and the smaller terrestrial exoplanet candidate TOI-715c.
I remember when the red dwarf star was found.
I like this progress.
