A giant exoplanet is surprisingly chill given how close it is to its red dwarf star — perhaps because the star is so little.

A small red dwarf star, TOI-6894, is defying astronomers' expectations by having a gas giant planet in its orbit.

With its low density and unusually cool, methane-rich atmosphere, this planet offers a rare window into giant planet formation around small stars.
