NASA's TESS spacecraft found the two planets, which are slightly larger than Earth.
— defined as the range of distances from a star in which liquid water could be stable on a world's surface — are actually hospitable to Earth-like life.
This makes the two planets orbiting in the habitable zone of this red dwarf — which have been designated TOI-2095 b and TOI-2095 c, respectively — tantalizing prospects for further investigation by astronomers. The distance between the closest planet to the red dwarf, TOI-2095 b, and its star is around one-tenth of the average distance between theand the sun. The exoplanet, which is 1.39 times wider than our planet but has up to 4.1 times its mass, takes around 17.7 Earth days to orbit the star.
The system's second planet, TOI-2095 c, is a little farther out than its counterpart; takes 28.2 Earth days to orbit the red dwarf. This exoplanet has a diameter around 1.33 times that of Earth and has up to 7.5 times the mass of our planet. The planets likely have surface temperatures between 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 165 degrees Fahrenheit , researchers said.
