TESS Unveils Its Most Complete All-Sky Map of Exoplanets Yet
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) released its most complete all-sky mosaic, assembled from 96 sectors observed between 2018 and September 2025, mapping about 6,000 potential exoplanets (roughly 679 confirmed and 5,165 candidates). The mosaic highlights the diversity of worlds found, including a recently identified system with a super‑Earth and a tilted, eccentric companion and evidence of planet–planet collisions, marking the conclusion of TESS's second mission extension in Sept 2025.
