Stressful day at the office? Muscles need soothing? A trip to a newly described exoplanet—featuring a thick saunalike steam atmosphere—may be in order.
Of course, it would be a long trip for a spa day, given the planet’s location 72 light-years from Earth.
The planet, TOI-244 b, was initially discovered in 2018 by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite , which looks for the telltale dimming in a star’s light when a planet crosses its face. Castro-González and colleagues used TESS data to estimate that the planet is 1.5 times bigger than Earth. The planet follows a tight 7-day orbit around its red dwarf star, and its temperatures are thought to rise to more than 2000°C—too hot for the water to condense into oceans, but not hot enough for it to evaporate out into space.
