Teegarden’s Star b and c, discovered in 2019, are ~1.0-1.1 times Earth’s size orbiting a quiet red dwarf every 4.9 and 11.4 days. Both in the habitable zone—Earth-like sunlight.

One of the closest potentially habitable pairs—just 12.5 light-years!

Super calm star means no flares stripping life away—prime for oceans.
