NASA’s New Planet Hunter Reveals a Sky Full of Stars
NASA’s newest planet-hunting satellite — the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS for short — has just released its first science image using all of its cameras to capture a huge swath of the sky! TESS is NASA’s next step in the search for planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

This spectacular image, the first released using all four of TESS’ cameras, shows the satellite’s full field of view. It captures parts of a dozen constellations, from Capricornus (the Sea Goat) to Pictor (the Painter’s Easel) — though it might be hard to find familiar constellations among all these stars! The image even includes the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, our galaxy’s two largest companion galaxies.
The science community calls this image “first light,” but don’t let that fool you — TESS has been seeing light since it launched in April. A first light image like this is released to show off the first science-quality image taken after a mission starts collecting science data, highlighting a spacecraft’s capabilities.
TESS has been busy since it launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. First TESS needed to get into position, which required a push from the Moon. After nearly a month in space, the satellite passed about 5,000 miles from the Moon, whose gravity gave it the boost it needed to get into a special orbit that will keep it stable and maximize its view of the sky.

During those first few weeks, we also got a sneak peek of the sky through one of TESS’s four cameras. This test image captured over 200,000 stars in just two seconds! The spacecraft was pointed toward the constellation Centaurus when it snapped this picture. The bright star Beta Centauri is visible at the lower left edge, and the edge of the Coalsack Nebula is in the right upper corner.
After settling into orbit, scientists ran a number of checks on TESS, including testing its ability to collect a set of stable images over a prolonged period of time. TESS not only proved its ability to perform this task, it also got a surprise! A comet named C/2018 N1 passed through TESS’s cameras for about 17 hours in July.
The images show a treasure trove of cosmic curiosities. There are some stars whose brightness changes over time and asteroids visible as small moving white dots. You can even see an arc of stray light from Mars, which is located outside the image, moving across the screen.
Now that TESS has settled into orbit and has been thoroughly tested, it’s digging into its main mission of finding planets around other stars. How will it spot something as tiny and faint as a planet trillions of miles away? The trick is to look at the star!
So far, most of the exoplanets we’ve found were detected by looking for tiny dips in the brightness of their host stars. These dips are caused by the planet passing between us and its star – an event called a transit. Over its first two years, TESS will stare at 200,000 of the nearest and brightest stars in the sky to look for transits to identify stars with planets.
TESS will be building on the legacy of NASA’s Kepler spacecraft, which also used transits to find exoplanets. TESS’s target stars are about 10 times closer than Kepler’s, so they’ll tend to be brighter. Because they’re closer and brighter, TESS’s target stars will be ideal candidates for follow-up studies with current and future observatories.
TESS is challenging over 200,000 of our stellar neighbors to a staring contest! Who knows what new amazing planets we’ll find?
The TESS mission is led by MIT and came together with the help of many different partners. You can keep up with the latest from the TESS mission by following mission updates.

Drain the swamp.
Haters.
why is white supposed to be a ‘pure’ color? you know what’s white? crack cocaine. you know what else is white? 230+ years of systematic oppression

A scientist at the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention urged people in Wuhan to avoid coming into and going out of the city to prevent a deadly coronavirus from spreading further.
As of Tuesday, the outbreak of the pneumonia-like virus that was discovered in Wuhan had killed six people and infected about 300 others in China, Reuters reported, citing Chinese authorities.
Zeng Guang, the chief epidemiologist at China’s CDC, urged people in Wuhan to avoid leaving the city and said those intending to go there should avoid it if they can, according to The Washington Post.
“We hope people can avoid going to Wuhan if possible and that people in Wuhan can stay there,” he said.

Angry Black People are always animals to white onlookers.
Mark Knight could’ve easily drawn Serena Williams as a toddler, as a baby throwing a tantrum, but he went the “hulking brute” route, as if Serena is so much larger than all of her competitors/“victims.”

“I don’t know how you draw an African-American person by not making them look like an African-American person.” - CBS News

Yet he drew the “victim” – who is half Black/half Japanese – as a faceless blonde white woman. Just say “angry Black women are animals” and go.
Angry Black people are always larger than life to white people. Every cop shooting of an unarmed Black man talks about how huge the victim was, how they had superhuman strength running through a hail of bullets like Michael Brown. 12-year-old Tamir Rice was a grown man to the cops who shot him. Maria Sharapova’s autobiography repeatedly tried to paint her as a victim to Serena’s ENORMOUSLY SCARY BODY.

In reality, this is what Serena Williams looks like next to Naomi Osaka.

Yes, she’s bigger and stronger…the way a Camry is bigger than a Geo Metro, not the way a semi-truck is bigger than a 2-door coupe. “The black woman of the white imagination is not the black woman of reality. Over and over folks have jumped in my timeline telling this cartoon was justified because Serena is SO MUCH bigger, huge, gargantuan. She is not. It’s your bigotry that’s gigantic, not her.” – Nikole Hannah Jones
