Well, this exoplanet, it goes by the official name, GJ3378B. This was discovered in 2024. It was orbiting over at the Warf Star, and then it's about 25 years from Earth. In the orbital period, a route of this parent star is about 21.5 days, considerably faster than here on Earth, and it's about 10 times closer than Earth orbit to Sun. And if it were in our solar system, the orbital distance would make it completely inhabitable to drop it. The red dwarf, however, in the midst of about 9% less radiation than the Sun, and that means this exoplanet is right in the middle of its event system's habitable zone. At first, scientists thought the planet was approximately 5 times more mass than Earth, and if rocky, it would make it a super-vert.
