Meet TIC 139270665 c, a newly discovered exoplanet orbiting the star TIC 139270665, unveiled to us in 2024 thanks to the diligent observations at the Lick Observatory using the trusty Levy Spectrograph. This alien world was tracked down with the clever radial velocity method, which detects the star’s tiny wobbles caused by the planet’s gravitational tug—a celestial dance that reveals hidden companions. Although we don't yet have a fancy proper name for this planet, its discovery marks another chapter in our ongoing quest to understand the vast and varied tapestry of planets beyond our solar system. TIC 139270665 c invites us to imagine a distant realm where new climates and landscapes await, tucked away around a star far from our familiar night sky.
