The “forbidden” planet TOI-5205b This artist’s conception shows the gas giant TOI-5205b transiting, or passing in front of its host star. This world has been called the “forbidden planet” because of its size and proximity to its small red dwarf star, which goes against our current understanding of planetary formation.
