Iconography showing the habitable zone around the planet Teegarden in two conservative and optimistic scenarios, compared to our solar system and other planets discovered in their star's habitable zone. The scale is normalized to the size of our solar system. In practice the planets Teegarden b and Teegarden c are much closer to their sun. Illustration: C. Harman
