"NASA Discovers Potentially Habitable Super-Earth in Close Solar System"

NASA has discovered a new "super-Earth," designated as TOI-715 b, in a nearby solar system's habitable zone, only 137 light-years from Earth. Orbiting a red dwarf star, the planet's close proximity allows for easier observation, with a "year" lasting 19 days. Another potentially habitable planet was also found in the same system. Super-Earths are more massive than Earth but lighter than ice giants, and can be made of gas, rock, or a combination of both, with a wide variety of planetary compositions.
