Indian researchers from the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) have made a significant discovery with the exoplanet TOI-6651b, which is Saturn-sized and has a mass 60 times that of Earth, with a radius five times larger. This exoplanet orbits a Sun-like star in a cycle of 5.06 days and is located at the edge of the "Neptunian desert," an area known for having few planets of similar mass. This discovery provides valuable insights into planetary formation processes and expands our understanding of the diversity of exoplanets in the universe.
