Astronomers have discovered an unusually large exoplanet orbiting the small star TOI-6894, located 240 light-years away in the constellation Leo, challenging existing planetary formation theories. The planet, a gas giant similar in size to Saturn, orbits a red dwarf star that is only about one-fifth the mass of our sun, a pairing that defies current models predicting smaller planets around such stars.
