European Space Agency detects a unique exoplanet with ‘no known equivalent’ in the constellation Lupus after the world unexpectedly photobombs its star https://t.co/cUFayQhPiQ

— Granthshala News (@GranthshalaNews) June 29, 2021

The mysterious planet orbits a sun-like star called Nu2 Lupi, which is one of only three naked-eye stars known to host multiple transiting planets.

Planets 'b', 'c' and the newly-discovered 'd' have masses between those of Earth and Neptune and circle their sun with specific orbital periods, but planet 'd', according to ESA, will be a particularly attractive target for both the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, that will be launched at the end of 2021.
