Potentially habitable exoplanet discovered by NASA's TESS

NASA's TESS discovers Gliese 12b, a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a cool red dwarf star. With a size comparable to Earth and Venus, its potential habitability sparks interest. TESS's transit method allows precise measurements of the planet's orbit and size. Follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope aim to unveil its atmosphere's composition. Gliese 12b's discovery signifies a step forward in understanding exoplanets and their potential to harbor life beyond our solar system.
