ICON (Explorer 96) →. Wikinews has related news: NASA launches exoplanet-hunting satellite TESS. Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS) is a space telescope for NASA 's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission. [ 6]
CHEOPS, supplemented by TESS data, characterized AU Mic and its planet b. It also confirmed transit-timing variations, caused by the outer planets. [45] TOI-561 is a multi-planet system that was studied with CHEOPS, HARPS-N and TESS. The study confirmed that TOI-561 b is the lowest density ultra-short period planet. [46]
The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 [ 5] to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. [ 6][ 7] Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler, [ 8] the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit. The principal investigator was William J. Borucki.
Initially spotted by NASA’s planet-hunting TESS mission in 2020 and ground-based observations from the European Southern Observatory in Chile, the exoplanet was selected for follow-up ...
Its 36-day orbital period is a record high for the TESS mission. The “sub-Neptune” planet is about three times Earth’s size, but 23 times its mass.… Read More
Astronomers decided to focus a whole host of observatories, including Cheops, the Hubble Space Telescope, the now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope and NASA’s planet-hunting TESS mission, to study ...
