the habitable zone of its star. Meet T.O.I. 700E. T-O-I stands for TESS object of interest.

Tess is NASA's transiting exoplanet survey satellite, which monitors large swaths

of the sky for about 27 days at a time, tracking the changes in stellar brightness caused by planets

crossing in front of their stars, what is called a transit. Or as the Verge refers to Tess,

or that could potentially have hosted life at some point in time, or even currently.

to finding life outside of our solar system, planets that closely resemble Earth seem like a

good place to start, end quote. T-O-I-700E is about 95% the size of Earth, believed to be quite

rocky and within the habitable zone of its star.
