TESS celebrated its fifth "launchiversary" this week. Five years of exoplanets, variable stars, supernovae, and more!

[NASA Universe @NASAUniverse]

Happy 5th launch anniversary, TESS!

Check out this thread to see five of our favorite TESS discoveries so far! 🧵

[TESS at MIT @TESSatMIT]

Going "by the numbers," TESS already has confirmed hundreds of exoplanets and discovered thousands more candidates. https://t.co/l2p7bT0DOg

[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) @MIT]

Since TESS launched in 2018, George Ricker and his team have detected more than 6,000 planet candidates, including approximately 500 with their masses now established. https://t.co/KAAodZUi2D

[TESS at MIT @TESSatMIT]

🎉 Happy five-year "launchiversary," TESS! 🎉 Let's celebrate all the discoveries since 2018 and hope for many more!

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

#OTD in 2018, @NASA launched the TESS Space Telescope. In its first five years, TESS has discovered 329 planets and 4,300+ planet candidates. https://t.co/3GTgT4zFpn Here are some exoplanet highlights!🧵⬇️

Did you know astronomers use TESS data to study our own Solar system? Learn how with 51 Pegasi Fellow @malena_rice, today at 2:30 Eastern on @OneGardenHQ!

[Malena Rice @malena_rice]

Tomorrow I'm delighted to be giving a fireside-chat-style talk about the outer solar system to close out the "The Bright Night Sky" series! Many thanks to @OneGardenHQ for this unique opportunity :)
