Techno live – Hunter spacecraft planet owned by NASA (Space and Aviation Agency) found a second planet of the same size Land and can have plenty of water.
Earth’s sister planet orbits the same star.
In transit Exoplanet NASA’s Survey Satellite (TESS) launched in April 2018 and the mission has since discovered 285 planets extrasurya confirmed and recruited more than 6,000 candidates.
One of the more interesting confirmed planets is a world dubbed TOI 700 d, which is roughly the size of Earth and located in its star’s habitable zone.
Now scientists have determined that the planet has equally tantalizing neighbors, thanks to data from October 2021 that suggests the Earth-orbiting telescope has spotted something of interest.
“We saw it for the first time and wondered if it was real?” said one astronomer of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, Emily Gilbert.
TESS found the planet by staring at the star for a month, looking for small dips in brightness that could indicate a planet passing between the star and the telescope.

From this decrease, astronomers can estimate the planet’s size and its orbital hours.
