NASA unveiled a new exoplanet, discovered last March by the TESS telescope, called TOI-1846 b.

The exoplanet, which is 1.8 times larger than Earth, emits a mysterious signal that has caught the attention of scientists. It is known to orbit a red dwarf 154 light-years away, and its 3.93-day orbit causes a faint dimming of the light from its star.

“This transit was confirmed by other ground-based telescopes, such as the Gemini Observatory. The planet, with a temperature of 600°F, could have a rocky core, dense ice, and a surface ocean.”

Regarding the mysterious signal emitted by the exoplanet, the media has reported that “it is not of extraterrestrial origin. It is simply the pattern of starlight blocked by the planet.”
