NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) uses the transit method to detect exoplanets by observing tiny dips in star brightness when planets pass in front of them, having already scanned over 75% of the sky and discovered thousands of candidate exoplanets including lava worlds, super-Earths, and potentially habitable planets, fundamentally expanding our understanding of planetary systems beyond our solar system.

The Terrifying Worlds NASA Just DiscoveredAdded:
Right now, a piece of NASA technology is staring into the deep dark of space, hunting for thousands of alien worlds.
This is TESS. It doesn't look for planets directly. Instead, it watches for a star to blink, a tiny dip in brightness when a planet passes in front of it.
Using this transit method, TESS has already scanned over 75% of the sky and discovered thousands of candidate exoplanets.
We're talking lava worlds, super Earths, and places that could actually harbor life.
It's basically rewriting our cosmic map, proving that our solar system is just one of billions.
