TESS

TESS completed its second extended mission in September 2025.

NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has published its most complete starfield image to date.

TESS has helped study young stellar streams, the dynamic behavior of galaxies, and near-Earth asteroids.

Scientists have confirmed more than 6,270 exoplanets using TESS, NASA’s Kepler space telescope, and other facilities.

TESS began operations in April 2018.

Researchers assembled the TESS full-sky mosaic from 96 observed sectors.

TESS monitors brightness variations in tens of thousands of stars to search for signs of orbiting planets.

TESS’s latest sky mosaic fills gaps from earlier observations.

The orange markers in the TESS image represented more than 5,000 candidate planets awaiting verification.

Nearly 6,000 colored markers in the TESS image show the locations of confirmed or candidate exoplanets identified by the mission as of September 2025.

The Space Telescope Science Institute is the data repository for the Hubble, Webb, Roman, Kepler, K2, and TESS missions.

Tess Hatch identified a potential SpaceX IPO valuation of up to $1.75 trillion as a critical liquidity event for opening venture investment in the space sector.

NASA's Kepler Space Telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) found most of the more than 6,000 confirmed exoplanets.

Only 47 candidate planets around binary stars were found by Kepler and TESS surveys.

The integration of stellar motions from Gaia, rotations from TESS, and chemistry from SDSS revealed a coherent picture of the Greater Pleiades Complex.

The research team used NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data and an algorithm to identify repeated brightness dips signaling a planet passing its host star.
