TOI-7149 b is an exciting exoplanet discovery made in 2025 by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which keeps an eye out for tiny dips in starlight caused by planets passing in front of their stars. This little world circles the star TOI-7149 and was found using TESS’s clever CCD array instruments. While it doesn’t have a fancy IAU proper name yet, TOI-7149 b is still full of intrigue as a brand-new member of the cosmic neighborhood. Imagine a planet you can only spot from space, teasing astronomers with glimpses of its passing shadow. It's a shining example of how NASA’s TESS mission continues to uncover hidden treasures in the vastness of the galaxy, bringing distant worlds within our curious reach!
