TESS’s 5th Anniversary Skyview (VIDEO)
Caption
This mosaic combines more than 900 images from all 24-by-90-degree sectors surveyed by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) through October 2022. The mosaic covers 93% of the sky and builds up in chronological order, illustrating the mission's progress over the past five years. A prominent feature in the mosaic is the Milky Way, a glowing U-shaped band that represents the bright central plane of our galaxy.
