Another intriguing aspect of HD 20794 D is that it does not transit in front of its star, complicating the direct analysis of its atmosphere. Fortunately, its proximity—just 20 light-years away—positions it as an accessible target for future observations using cutting-edge telescopes. This newfound discovery, published in the esteemed journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, takes on an added layer of significance as the planet orbits a star visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere of Earth.
