Through international collaboration, a team of astronomers has confirmed two exoplanets and found hints of a third exoplanet at a binary star system known as TOI-2267. The planets were first found by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), using the team’s own exoplanet detection software. This tantalizing find might provide new insights into planet formation in binary systems.
