Two Neptune-sized exoplanets discovered using Tess

A multinational team of astronomers announced the discovery of two new exoplanets circling a brilliant star known as TOI-5126, using Nasa's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (Tess), Phys Org reported. "We report the discovery and validation of two planets around the bright F star TOI-5126," the researchers wrote in the paper. The size of the newly discovered extraterrestrial worlds is comparable to that of the planet closest to the sun. The discovery was made public on October 13 on the arXiv pre-print server.
