Teegarden's Star b: A potential ocean world?
Discovered in 2019, Teegarden's Star b has captured the attention of scientists. Comparable in size to Earth, it lies within the habitable zone of its star, where liquid water could exist on its surface.
Simulations suggest that Teegarden's Star b could be an ocean world, covered in a thick layer of water.

Dubbed "the most habitable exoplanet" known to date, it has drawn attention in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Further studies are needed to confirm the ocean nature of Teegarden's Star b and determine if it possesses the conditions necessary for life.
The planet's atmosphere is likely to be composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Teegarden's Star b receives about half as much sunlight as Earth does.
Its surface temperature is estimated to be between -20 and 70 degrees Celsius.
