TOI-715 is a red dwarf star located 42 parsecs (140 ly) from the Earth in the constellation Volans, [note 1] very close to the southern celestial pole. [4] The star is smaller and cooler than the Sun and has an apparent magnitude of 16.7 and is too faint to be seen with the naked eye or even a small telescope.
While no scientist has stated to believe GJ 1214 b is an ocean planet, if GJ 1214 b is assumed to be an ocean planet, [22] i.e. the interior is assumed to be composed primarily of a water core surrounded by more water, proportions of the total mass consistent with the mass and radius are about 25% rock and 75% water, covered by a thick envelope ...
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2023 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2023. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.

The planet is located some 1,200 light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It's the second-lightest exoplanet found so far based on its dimensions and mass, according to the researchers.
On May 10, 2016, NASA announced that the Kepler mission has verified 1,284 new planets. [20] Based on some of the planet's sizes, about 550 could potentially be rocky planets. Nine of these orbit in their stars' habitable zone. [20]
The petition was unsuccessful in renaming TOI-1338 b, however, the International Astronomical Union announced that the minor planet 1980 RE1 was given the permanent name Sophiexeon in June 2021. [13] In June 2023, a second circumbinary planet within the system was announced to have been discovered, named BEBOP-1c. [14]
