An article published in “The Astrophysical Journal Letters” reports the discovery of a gaseous exoplanet in the DS Tuc binary system thanks to the use of NASA’s TESS space telescope. A team of astronomers coordinated by Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, USA, conducted this research on the exoplanet named DS Tuc Ab, which has an estimated age of about 45 million years, a sort of preteen. It has completed its growth but it’s still in a phase in which changes take place, all useful information to understand the formation and evolution of the planets.

An article to be published in “The Astronomical Journal” reports the discovery of a super-Earth that was cataloged as LTT 1445Ab thanks to NASA’s TESS space telescope in a research coordinated by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This exoplanet orbits a red dwarf and from the estimates seem too close to it to have the potential to host life forms similar to the Earth’s but it’s interesting because that star has two companions, red dwarfs as well, and orbits them.
