NASA’s Exoplanet Hunting Telescope (TESS) has discovered the largest ‘super-Earth’ ever seen, 200 light-years away, dubbed TOI-1075b. TOI-1075b is the largest “super-Earth” exoplanet found to date, with a mass 9.95 times the mass of Earth.

This means that if humans were on the surface of this planet, their weight would increase to 3 times that of Earth. Image simulation TOI-1075b. Image simulation TOI-1075b.

Astronomers think this exoplanet is likely rocky, like Mercury, Earth, Mars and Venus.

Based on how dim the star’s light is and TESS’s data it is possible that TOI-1075 has an orbiting exoplanet with an orbital period of about 14.5 hours and a radius 1.72 times the radius.

diameter of the Earth, in an orbital period of about 14.5 hours.

Astronomers predict that TOI-1075b has a density of 9.32 grams per cubic centimeter (nearly twice Earth’s density – 5.51 grams per cubic centimeter).

The equilibrium temperature of TOI-1075b is hot enough to melt the rock at the magmatic ant’s surface, which evaporates on the surface to form a metallic/silicate vapor atmosphere.

Astronomers will use the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the exoplanet’s atmosphere, helping to determine if TOI-1075b has a thin, silicate atmosphere, or none at all. atmosphere.

From there will help us learn about the formation and evolution of the planet.
