TOI-1801 b is a charming little world discovered in 2023 by the keen eyes of NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Orbiting the star TOI-1801, this planet was spotted as it casually passed in front of its host star, dimming the starlight just enough to announce its presence. While it doesn’t have a catchy proper name yet, TOI-1801 b invites us to imagine what it might be like to visit a planet so fresh on the cosmic scene. Thanks to TESS's clever technology, this newfound planet is part of the ever-growing family of exoplanets that broaden our horizons and fuel our curiosity about the vast universe floating beyond our solar system.
