NASA exoplanet-hunting spacecraft and citizen scientists discover a new alien world

Description:

Citizen scientists using NASA’s TESS mission have discovered TOI-4465 b, a rare, relatively cool gas giant about 400 light-years away. Roughly six times Jupiter’s mass and 1.25 times its width, it orbits its star every 102 days in an elliptical path, with temperatures between 200 and 400 °F. Unlike scorching “hot Jupiters” or frigid ice giants, TOI-4465 b occupies an underexplored middle ground, offering valuable clues about planetary system formation, Space.com has reported. Its rarity makes it a prime target for future study with the James Webb Space Telescope. read more: 👍 Like this video to celebrate the power of citizen science and space discovery. 💬 Comment below—what do you think TOI-4465 b can teach us about planet formation? 🔗 Share this video to inspire others with the wonders of the universe. 💰 Want to support the channel?
