Artist's concept of the rocky exoplanet LHS 475 b and its host star. The planet is only a few hundred degrees warmer than Earth. The planet whips around its star in just two days, far faster than any planet in the solar system, but its red dwarf star is less than half the temperature of the Sun. LHS 475 b is relatively close, 41 light-years away, in the constellation Octans.
