Our planet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered 66 worlds, observed exploding stars, and watched a black hole shred a star like our Sun. And that's just part of the story. Now in its extended NASA Exoplanets mission, TESS is surveying the universe better and faster than ever before.

Launching in 2017, Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite - TESS is an astrophysics mission designed to use four cameras to scan the entire sky, searching for planets outside our Solar System, known as exoplanets. The mission will monitor over 500,000 of the brightest stars in the sky, searching for dips in their brightness that would indicate a planet transiting across. TESS is predicted to find over 3,000 exoplanet candidates, ranging from gas giants to small rocky planets. About 500 of these p

What happens when a star strays too close to a black hole? Intense tides break it apart into a stream of gas. Observations by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite - TESS mission helped produce the most detailed look yet at the beginning of this cataclysmic phenomenon.

Launched April 2018, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite - TESS is searching the sky and has found hundreds of candidate exoplanet systems. Scientists expect to catalog thousands of planet candidates, many of them Earth-sized & super-Earth-sized!
