Kepler-725c: A New Super-Earth in the Habitable Zone
On June 3, 2025, astronomers announced the discovery of Kepler-725c, a super-Earth orbiting a Sun-like star in the constellation Cygnus. This exoplanet stands out not only for its size and location in the habitable zone — the region around a star where conditions could allow liquid water — but also because it was discovered using a sophisticated technique known as Transit Timing Variations (TTV). This method offers a new window into planet detection, especially in multi-planet systems.
