Rare warm mini-neptune discovered 123 light years away

Around one of the stars in a binary system TOI-1201 was discovered new exoplanet. It orbits its star ten times closer than Mercury orbits the Sun. It's about 2.5 times bigger than Earth and more than 6 times heavier. From its calculated density scientists expect it to be a member of sub-neptune class of exoplanets.
