ToI-512b, located 218 light-years away, is a super- Earth that could explain the universe's mysterious lack of certain exoplanets.

The planet orbits its star every 7.1 days at a distance of just 9,863,797 kilometers ( 6,129,079 miles ) It's too close to its star to be in the habitable zone, receiving 112 times as much heat from its star as Earth .

The planet might be too distant and difficult for the James Webb Space Telescope to perform transit spectroscopy.

The ANDES spectrometer on the forthcoming 39-meter ( 128 feet ) Extremely Large Telescope in Chile might have better luck.

The findings about TOI-512b were published on March 25 in Astronomy & Astrophysics .
