TOI-1075 b is a captivating exoplanet discovered in 2022, orbiting the star TOI-1075, thanks to the keen eyes of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This space explorer was spotted using TESS’s CCD array by observing tiny dips in its star’s brightness as the planet passed in front—a cosmic game of hide and seek! While we don’t have a fancy proper name for this world yet, TOI-1075 b is already stirring curiosity with its close orbit, probably cuddling its star quite tightly. Though it’s light-years away and beyond our current reach, this little planet is a shining example of how TESS is transforming our view of the galaxy, revealing new worlds out there waiting to be explored.
