HD 60779 b is a sub_neptune exoplanet discovered in 2026
using the Transit method at Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The 0.1 m TESS Telescope
was employed with the instruments of the TESS CCD Array.
Imagine a world discovered in 2026 by NASA's tireless TESS satellite, orbiting the star HD 60779 somewhere in the cosmic neighborhood. HD 60779 b announced itself the old-fashioned way—by passing in front of its star and casting a tiny shadow that TESS's keen instruments caught from space. This transit technique has become the astronomer's favorite party trick for finding distant worlds, and it worked beautifully here. Whether HD 60779 b is a scorching hot Jupiter or a smaller, rockier cousin remains part of its charm. Join us on an armchair journey to this freshly discovered realm, a testament to how our space-based observatories continue expanding the exoplanet catalog one transit at a time!
