by Astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have discovered a temperate, Neptune-sized planet orbiting the M-dwarf star TOI-1231.
TOI-1231 is a M3-type star located 90 light-years away in the southern constellation of Vela.
NLTT 24399, L 248-27, and 2MASS J10265947-5228099, the star is about two times smaller and less massive than our Sun.
The newfound planet, designated TOI-1231b, orbits its star once every 24.3 days.
The alien world is 3.65 times the radius of the Earth and about 15.4 times as massive.
