TESS was launched in 2018 with the hopes of finding small planets around nearby stars’ habitable-zone. And, whelp! The motherfucker has done it. How goddamn rad is this?
On one hand, I want to be really stoked about NASA finding an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone. But, at the same time we’re doing a good job of toasting ourselves before we get anywhere near a planet 100 light-years away. You know?
NASA’s TESS has spotted a mysterious supernova, friends! Said supernova left behind hydrogen, which, apparently, ain’t supposed to be found in a white dwarf.
