TOI-1266 c is a fascinating exoplanet discovered in 2020 orbiting the star TOI-1266, thanks to the keen eyes of NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This alien world was spotted as it gracefully passed in front of its star, causing a tiny dip in brightness that gave away its presence. While this planet prefers the quiet depths of space far beyond our solar system, you can imagine it as a distant companion in the cosmic dance of its host star. It’s one of those mysterious planets that spark curiosity about what kind of skies and landscapes might exist there, all unveiled by the powerful TESS CCD Array hunting for new worlds. TOI-1266 c invites us to keep dreaming about the vast variety of planets scattered across our galaxy.
