Astronomers used the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and the High-Resolution Echelle Spectrometer on the Keck Telescope to discover a rare type of exoplanet called a super-Neptune. It has been named so because the planet is almost 36 times the mass of Earth. Not only this, it is even larger than Neptune and located at a distance of just 11.6 light-years from Earth.
