https://www.space.com/nasa-tess-fir...4PPGbaYoOy5h4Ufx0ctluXa_Eda0bqBom_36N5L0EaNoQ Exciting find, but I don't really need to hear about any more potential 'Earths' that orbit red dwarfs with years measured in days. Those planets are all almost certainly tidally locked and, if habitable at all, would only be marginally so by our standards. Don't get me wrong- it's A-OK with me that news like this is getting to be a daily thing, and the fast-transiting planets around dwarf stars are the easiest to find. Now I'm waiting for the Holy Grail: an Earth-size world orbiting a G-type star at a distance somewhere approximating our own from the sun, say from .7 AU out to 1.5 or so, depending on the size and energy output of the planet's host star. A planet that potentially has moons of its own, some spin, and promising spectra graphic lines. Like Chlorophyll.
Actually, a planet around a red dwarf star would be a pretty good place to live. At least from the aspect of how long the stars live. They are some of the longest-lived stars in the universe, so you wouldn't have to pack up and move every 10 billion or so years.
That would be just my luck! I'd have one payment to go on my 10 billion year mortgage and have to move. Whatever, it wouldn't be the first time!
