TESS Detects Planet in Orbit Around Two Stars
Researchers at the SETI Institute, NASA, and a variety of other institutions detected a planet in a 200-day orbit around two stars – known as a circumbinary planet – from observations of just one NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) sector over an observation period of 27 days. TESS data analysis took place at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS).
