NASA has discovered a mysterious 'super-Earth' planet that appears to flash a repeated signal from 154 light-years away.
The planet, named TOI-1846 b, is almost twice the size of Earth and four times as massive.
Despite an estimated surface temperature of 600°F, researchers say the planet may still hold water.
NASA scientists hope that the James Webb Space Telescope will soon target TOI-1846 b to study its atmosphere using infrared light.
Under favourable conditions, Webb will be able to detect signs of water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, or other gases.
