Volunteer planet hunters have discovered a new world that holds out hope for finding life.
The find is in the habitable zone of an unusual star system, including two stars and potentially another exoplanet.
It’s the narrow band in a solar system where water has the potential to exist.
The planet is formally called TOI 4633 c, but nicknamed Percival by scientists
after the father of Hogwarts school headmaster Albus Dumbledore fin the Harry Potter book series.
The planet hunters spotted it as it crossed in front of its host star, temporarily dimming the star’s light like a solar eclipse on Earth.
This method usually identifies planets with tight orbits, as they move into light-blocking positions more frequently.
The newly discovered world is considered unusually far out, with the planet taking 272 days to lap its star.
The star it orbits is now by far the brightest one known to have a planet in the habitable zone where liquid water can exist.
OPS: Artistic impression of the new TOI 4633 c planet's surface which is believed to be made up of gasses.

Jumpers for chickens, Blisworth, Northampton, Britain - Jan 2009
Chicken rescuer Jane Percival knew just what to do to stop her chicks becoming too cool in a cold spell... home made jumpers.
Jane, 69, enlisted the help of the local Women's Institute members and their knitting skills to help protect the ex battery farm chickens, fearing they didn't have enough feathers to cope with sub zero temperatures
Jane, 69, from Blisworth, Northants, said: "We knew they wouldn't have enough feathers for the cold.
"So I searched the internet and found a pattern. The ladies from the local WI got knitting and now we have eight or nine jumpers."
Jane added: "It's made the chickens so happy that they even laid eggs."

'Miss Marple' - A Pocket Full of Rye - TV Programme. - 2008
Wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue collapses and dies after his breakfast, poisoned by an extract from yew berries. A pocketful of rye is found in his jacket. No one seems too upset, as Rex was universally disliked as a tyrant, especially by his children ¿ flamboyant traveller Lancelot, bookish Elaine and uptight businessman Percy. In fact, Rex's home, Yew Tree Lodge ¿ with its collection of servants and housekeepers, each with their ear to the ground, seems a much happier place without him.
Inspector Neele is despatched to Yew Tree Lodge to investigate. The house-maid, Gladys, who was Miss Marple's former maid, is acting strangely and writes to Marple for help. Yet the call has come too late and Rex's glamorous but unfaithful young wife Adele also falls foul of the poisoner. And Gladys is found strangled, with a peg on her nose.
The case appears to be echoing the children's rhyme 'Sing A Song of Sixpence'. The question is: who will be next?
