Otherworldly discoveries alert! Find out the latest ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets findings from our planet-hunting TESS mission. Watch live: nasa.gov/nasalive #AAS23

NASA’s TESS discovered its first Earth-size planet in a star’s habitable zone, the range of distances where conditions may be just right to allow the presence of liquid water on the surface. @NASAspitzer followed up and confirmed it. go.nasa.gov/2QrTiEv

.NASA_TESS has discovered a system of three planets that includes an Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of the cool host star. Read more here: nasa.gov/feature/goddar… #AAS235

A signal that was originally thought to be from a stellar eclipse in the TOI 1338 system turned out to be from a new world! This planet became TESS’s first circumbinary planet, a world orbiting two stars. go.nasa.gov/36vBpdy

.NASA_TESS has discovered its first circumbinary planet! As shown in this artist impression, this planet orbits around two stars with a period ranging from 93 to 95 days. Learn more here: nasa.gov/feature/goddar… #AAS235

📣Discovery Alert!📣 Meet three new exoplanets discovered by NASA_TESS. One of the planets, TOI 700 d, is an Earth-sized🌍 world in its star's habitable zone (where liquid water💧 *could* exist on the surface). 👋TOI 700 b, c & d! We see you. go.nasa.gov/2T12IbI

Astronomers using data from NASA’s TESS were surprised to find that Alpha Draconis, a star visible to the naked-eye, undergoes mutual eclipses with its fainter companion star. The brief six-hour eclipses were easy for ground-based observatories to miss. go.nasa.gov/2uhnrxx

Surprise! The bright, naked-eye star known as Alpha Draconis that has been studied for centuries was just discovered to be an eclipsing binary star by NASA_TESS. Learn more here: nasa.gov/feature/goddar… #AAS235

NASA_TESS Scientists used @NASAspitzer to confirm the discoveries and to model the potential environments for TOI 700 d. The planets' star is a small, cool M dwarf just over 100 light-years💡⤳ away in the constellation Dorado.

ICYMI - If you are at #AAS235, join us for more NASA_TESS fun in about two hours from now, at our evening splinter session!

The NASA_TESS splinter session at #AAS235 is getting started!

George Ricker, PI of NASA_TESS, kicks off our splinter meeting at #AAS235 🛰

Next up at the NASA_TESS splinter is Andrew Vanderburg, speaking on the incredible exoplanets TESS has discovered in its first year of science. #AAS235

When NASA_TESS searches for new exoplanets, it is actually studying stars too! James Davenport discussed the variety of stellar astrophysics we can learn about from NASA_TESS. #AAS235

Did you know NASA_TESS also studies objects outside of our galaxy? Krista Smith told us all about how TESS does this at #AAS235.

.NASA_TESS data pair well with data from and tools used for other missions like the NASA Kepler and K2 missions! Christina Hedges talked about the Kepler/K2/TESS connection at our splinter session at #AAS235.

Roland Vanderspek, Deputy PI of NASA_TESS, is excited for TESS’s first extended mission. While the prime mission will end in July 2020, the extended mission will start shortly after. #AAS235

The final speaker of the #AAS235 NASA_TESS splinter session is Eliza Kempton. She highlighted how many of the exoplanets being discovered by TESS are prime targets for NASA Webb Telescope - JWST can be used to reveal the properties of the atmospheres of exoplanets!

ICYMI! #AAS235
