Well…the headline only says the planet is 6.9 times as big as Earth. Jupiter is at least that large, last time I checked, so without more context I also don’t know what is special about it.

Actually, Earth is around about the largest that rocky planets tend to get. Look at the gap between Earth and Uranus, it’s huge. Planets in the middle size are rare. This planet is a super-earth type planet.
