TOI-1634 b is a fascinating little world discovered in 2021 by the ever-watchful Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Orbiting its star, TOI-1634, this planet was spotted as it gracefully passed in front of its sun, causing tiny dips in brightness that revealed its presence to us Earthlings. While we don’t yet have a charming proper name for this cosmic traveler, TOI-1634 b excites astronomers with its close dance around its star, making it a hot spot in the vastness of space. Thanks to the precise eyes of TESS's CCD array, we get to peek into the diverse family of planets beyond our solar system, each with its own story written in the stars.
