Hubble measures size of nearest Earth-sized planet beyond our solar system | Science-Environment

Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have measured the size of the nearest Earth-sized exoplanet (planet beyond our solar system).

Discovered by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2022, LTT 1445Ac passes across the face of a red dwarf star, LTT 1445A, an alignment called a transit, which opens the door to follow-on studies to analyse the type of atmosphere, if any, the rocky world might have.
