NASA's TESS satellite has discovered a new super-Earth, TOI-715b, orbiting a red dwarf star within the "conservative" habitable zone, making it a prime candidate for further study. This planet, 1.5 times the diameter of Earth, has a 19-day year and could potentially host liquid water. TESS has also found a potential smaller habitable-zone planet in the same system, sparking excitement for further exploration and the possibility of finding a "water world."
