Smallest planet found

Using the TESS space telescope, scientists have found a system of several planets, and one of them is the least massive of all known exoplanets.

The system was named L 98-59. It is located quite close to Earth in cosmic terms – only 35 light years away. Analysis of data from the telescope showed that this system may consist of five planets, and not three, as previously thought.

If a fifth planet exists, its mass is about two and a half times the mass of the Earth. Most likely, this is a stone planet. In addition, it is located at such a distance from the star that there can be liquid water on the planet. It takes the object only 23 days to complete a revolution around its sun.

And here is another planet in the system weighs less than half the Earth. Thus, it is the smallest confirmed exoplanet discovered to date.
