C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Circle to Search makes it incredibly easy to look up basically anything you see on your phone screen. So far, though, in landscape mode Circle to Search would often cover up the area you circled.

A Giant Planet and a Small Star Are Shaking Up Conventional Cosmological Theory

Many of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy are small, dim red dwarfs—stars much smaller than the sun in both size and mass. TOI-6894, located far away from Earth, is one of them. Astronomers previously thought a star like this could not have large planets circulating it, because its mass is only about 20 percent of the sun, meaning its planetary system—generated from materials surrounding the star—would not have contained enough mass to form a giant body like Saturn or Jupiter.
