TL;DR Summary

Two new planets, designated TOI-2095 b and TOI-2095 c, have been discovered orbiting a red dwarf star 137 light-years away using NASA's Transiting Exoplanets Survey Satellite (TESS). Both planets are in the habitable zone and have estimated masses of 4.1 and 7.5 Earths, respectively. Future observations with other instruments could help determine the composition of the planets and confirm whether they are rocky worlds or something else.
