HIP 41378 f (also known as EPIC 211311380 f) is an
exoplanet
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an exoplanet was noted in 1917 but was not recognized as such. The first confirmation of detection occurred in 1992. A different planet, init ...

A star is an astronomical object comprising a luminous spheroid of plasma (physics), plasma held together by its gravity. The List of nearest stars and brown dwarfs, nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked ...
HIP 41378. It has an anomalously large radius (9.2 ) for a planet of its size and temperature, therefore the radius may actually be that of an optically thick ring system. It is located within the
optimistic habitable zone of its parent star. No atmospheric signatures were found as in 2022, further reinforcing the hypothesis of opaque circumplanetary rings.
