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

NASA confirms the discovery of a new "super-Earth" planet, TOI-715 b, which is 1.5 times wider than Earth and located within its star's habitable zone, potentially allowing for the existence of liquid water on its surface. The planet's short 19-day orbit around its sun was discovered by a global team of astronomers using the TESS satellite and has been confirmed by multiple telescopes. While there have been 1,679 confirmed super-Earth discoveries, not all are suitable for life due to extreme conditions. The TOI-715 star is a red dwarf, and there's a possibility of another Earth-sized planet orbiting it.
