Jupiter Like Big Planet Discovered By Citizen Scientists From NASA TESS Data

The signature for the newly discovered planet was hiding in data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS. Using TESS data, scientists look for changes in brightness of nearby stars, which could indicate the presence of orbiting planets.
Jacobs is part of a group of citizen scientists who look at plots of TESS data, showing the change in a star’s brightness over time, in search of new planets. The planet, discovered is about the size of Jupiter but thought to be more dense, takes 261 days to orbit its star. Its temperature is about 76 degrees Celsius.
