NASA Discovers Potentially Habitable Super-Earth 137 Light-Years Away

The newly found planet, TOI-715 b, orbits within the habitable zone of a red dwarf star, raising hopes for conditions that could support life.

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has identified a super-Earth, named TOI-715 b, that is 1.5 times the size of Earth and located 137 light-years away in our Milky Way galaxy.
The planet orbits a red dwarf star within the habitable zone, suggesting it could have the right temperature for liquid water to exist on its surface.
TOI-715 b completes an orbit around its star every 19 days, due to its close proximity to the cooler, smaller red dwarf star.
There is a possibility of a second Earth-sized planet in the same system, which, if confirmed, would be the smallest habitable-zone planet discovered by TESS so far.
Further investigations using the James Webb Space Telescope are planned to explore the planet's atmosphere and other characteristics, offering deeper insights into its potential habitability.
