TL;DR Summary

NASA scientists have discovered a "super-Earth," TOI-715 b, orbiting a small, reddish star within the habitable zone, potentially suitable for liquid water. This planet, 1.5 times wider than Earth, is a promising candidate for further investigation, especially with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. The discovery also hints at the possibility of a second, Earth-sized planet in the same system, making it an exciting development in the study of exoplanets.
