A hobbyist used Claude Code and Codex to analyze NASA TESS data and identified two potential new exoplanets orbiting star TIC 4206066, with NASA approving an observing proposal to confirm them in November.

A new study presents the TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey (TARS), the largest catalog of stellar rotation periods to date, covering over one million stars within about 1,600 light-years of the Sun, using data from the TESS satellite.

Scientists used a machine learning algorithm to analyze TESS data, identifying over 10,000 new exoplanet candidates, potentially tripling the known count. One candidate was confirmed as a hot Jupiter, validating the method.
