Additional planet orbiting the star TOI-1408 discovered

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, an international team of astronomers has detected a second planet orbiting a distant main sequence star known as TOI-1408. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-1408 c, is about two times larger and nearly eight times more massive than the Earth. The finding was reported in a research paper published July 25 on the pre-print server arXiv.
