TESS Captures First Science Image in Search for New Worlds

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) recently took a snapshot of a strip of stars and galaxies in the southern sky during a 30-minute period on Tuesday, Aug. 7. This image was created by combining the views from all four of TESS’ cameras, marking its “first light” in the first observing sector dedicated to identifying planets around other stars. The collage of stars and galaxies in the image is labeled to highlight the different elements captured by TESS.
