  • Researchers have discovered a new five-billion-year-old planet that is 60 times bigger than Earth using data from NASA's space telescope TESS.
  • This planet, known as TOI-197.0, is currently one of the best described exoplanets.
  • Scientists have dubbed it a "hot Saturn" because it is about the size of Saturn, but much warmer.
  • This is because the new planet is much closer to the star that it orbits than Saturn is to the sun.
