NASA spots SuperEarth TOI 715 b which is 1.5 times of earth with 19 days year
NASA has spotted an exoplanet in space named TOI-715 b. It is 1.5 times larger than our Earth. It has its own solar system which is located 137 light years away. NASA says that the distance of this planet from its star is perfect for water to form on its surface. Not much can be said about this right now. The space agency says that there are many other factors involved in this. The biggest factor in which is that its surface temperature should be correct.
Discovery Alert!
A super-Earth ripe for further investigation orbits a small, reddish star that is, at least by astronomical standards, fairly close to us – only 137 light-years away.

The TOI-715 b exoplanet has its own solar system. That means it also has a star which is like the sun. This planet completes one revolution around that star in 19 days. That means a year there is only 19 days long. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society This discovery has been published. Since it is 137 light years away, it appears only as a black dot when it appears in front of its star.
Recently, mention of another such exoplanet had appeared in the report. Scientists discovered LHS 1140b exoplanet in the year 2017. After this it was monitored and examined through several telescopes. After which it was revealed that it is a rocky planet which is 1.7 lakh times larger than the Earth. LHS 1140b is not described as dense enough. This means that either it must contain a lot of water or it must contain elements like hydrogen and helium. However, regarding TOI-715 b, scientists are saying that to make its close observation, James Webb Space Telescope will have to be kept at a distance of 1 million miles.
