Why isn't this headline news TESS is working perfect. does everyone realize how lucky we are to see these photos in our lifetimes? It makes me sad ppl don't appreciate what or who we really are and don't care to find out. Then the government looses 224 trillion and says oh well. Meanwhile they only eck out 1.9 billion for nasa. What's really going on here, ya know.

So many dislikes this soon? Would some of you who dislike this video please elucidate why? However, if y'all are all flat-earthers, then never mind.

All those systematic effects are going to make looking for exoplanet transits loads of fun. Just... loads of fun.
