TESS has also helped study our own solar system. It “caught” a comet
not long after launch. It also observed exocomets – comets around another star with detectable tails, the first identification of its type in visible light!https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1251539352552783879 …

T is one of our favorite letters! In fact, the T in TESS stands for Transit. It’s how the space telescope discovers new planets. And, so far, TESS has discovered 45 planets! More than 1,780 planet candidates found with TESS await confirmation.https://twitter.com/NASAUniverse/status/1251548573650620416?s=20 …

In my book "A Física e o Universo" by Rodrigo Horst I prove using Physics principles that the Universe is eternal in time and infinite in extension in space.
