Meet TOI-1420 b, a fresh face in the cosmic neighborhood discovered in 2023 by the keen eyes of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This planet orbits the star TOI-1420 and was spotted using the clever transit method, which means it plays a little peek-a-boo by passing in front of its star and dimming its light just enough for TESS to notice. While TOI-1420 b keeps some of its secrets, such as its exact size and distance from Earth, it invites stargazers to imagine a world beyond our own, tucked away in the vastness of space. Thanks to TESS’s sharp CCD array, the universe continues to share its hidden gems, and TOI-1420 b is one more intriguing chapter in the endless story of exploration.
