Happy Birthday to TESS, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
Launched on April 18, 2018, TESS has since been hunting for exoplanets in our galaxy.
Recently, on April 8, TESS had gone to sleep in "safe mode" due to an anomaly detected by its computer system. At the time of the anomaly, some scheduled engineering activities were taking place 🤔
All is well now, as TESS continues to add to its record of 432 confirmed exoplanets and 7,138 candidates.
