deeper, longer‑term survey, enabling scientists to map planetary systems across diverse galactic environments. “The TESS mission uniquely provides these rapid observations for stars in other parts of the galaxy, and pairing the two opens up prospects...

of reflected light. By synthesizing historical data from the Kepler Space Telescope with fresh measurements from NASA’s TESS mission taken six years later, researchers detected an unexpected phase shift in this light modulation. A graphic showing how...

have confirmed the discovery of a rare four-star system featuring a unique eclipse pattern, as captured by NASA’s TESS mission. Astronomers have identified a unique quadruple star system, known as TIC 433545934, which displays an unprecedented level of...

Hubble Space Telescope imaging, spectroscopy from the Southern African Large Telescope, and photometry from NASA’s TESS mission. This multi‑wavelength approach delivered the first definitive confirmation of the binary components behind the helium nova....

NASA’s upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory aims to revolutionize the hunt for Earth‑like planets and extraterrestrial life beyond our solar system. NASA is outlining concepts for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, a cutting‑edge telescope intended to...
