LP 791-18 d

An artist's concept of LP791-18 d, an Earth-size planet about 90 light-years away. The gravitational pull of a larger planet in the system, represented here as a blue disk, may result in internal heating and volcanic eruptions - similar to those on Jupiter's moon Io, the most geologically active body in the solar system. The planet was discovered using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), as well as other observatories
