July 20 , 2025 3 days 100 0
  • NASA has discovered a new planet called TOI-1846 b, located 154 light-years from Earth.
  • The planet is about twice the size of Earth and four times heavier.
  • This places it in a rare group known as the “radius gap” between the small rocky planets and large gas giants.
  • TOI-1846 b orbits a red dwarf star in the Lyra constellation and completes a full orbit in just under four days.
  • The planet may have a thin atmosphere with a layer of ice or a shallow ocean underneath, though life is unlikely due to extreme heat.
