NASA's New Exoplanet Catalog Reveals 126 Diverse Worlds

The TESS-Keck Survey provides detailed data on planet mass, radius, and density, offering insights into planetary formation and the uniqueness of our solar system.

The catalog includes 126 exoplanets with varied characteristics, some potentially habitable and others extremely hostile.
Data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and W. M. Keck Observatory were used to compile the catalog.
Key measurements include mass and radius, which help determine the composition and formation of these planets.
Highlights include a super-Earth with a 12-hour year and a sub-Saturn planet orbiting a sun-like star.
The findings contribute to understanding the diversity of planetary systems and the place of our solar system within the cosmos.
