(MENAFN – Youm7) TESS, a NASA space exploration telescope, has detected 21 quakas outside our solar system and collected data on other interesting events in the southern half of sky during its first year, but TESS seems to be interested. Let's move on to the northern hemisphere to complete the most comprehensive planetary hunt ever made.
According to Phys's scientific site On July 18th, the investigation on the southern part of the site was completed. The satellite has turned its cameras north and when the northern portion is completed by 2020, the TESS will have identified more than three quarters of the sky.
"TESS goes on to the next step, if the planets are everywhere," said Paddy Boyd, a TESS scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "Let's find those twinkling stars around us, because it will be the stars that we can now follow through existing terrestrial and space telescopes." He said.
To find the outer planets, TESS uses four large cameras to observe a segment of the sky at 24 degrees 27 days at a time, with some parts overlapping, so that parts of the sky are monitored for almost a year. From our solar system.
NASA is striving to place astronauts on the closest planet objects, "Moon and Mars", to better understand the planets of our solar system, and to follow observations with powerful telescopes will allow us to better understand understand how the Earth and the solar system were formed.
