Hot Earth-sized exoplanet detected with TESS

Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new Earth-sized planet orbiting a nearby star. The newly found alien world, designated GJ 3929 b, is slightly larger and more massive than the Earth, however much hotter than our home planet. The finding was presented in a paper published February 2 on the arXiv pre-print server.
