Nearby star hosts two super-Earths, astronomers find.
Astronomers have discovered two "super-Earth" exoplanets orbiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as TOI-2095 using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The newfound alien worlds have short orbital periods and are slightly larger than the Earth. The two newly discovered exoplanets are close to the inner edge of the habitable zone of TOI-2095 and their parameters make them attractive targets for further follow-up observations.
