According to the Mehr news agency, quoted by Space, NASA’s TESS satellite has observed more than 7,000 different exoplanets, but so far only a part of them have been confirmed as real stars, and the rest may be undiscovered planets or just noise.
Unfortunately, TESS or any other professional telescope cannot examine all available details, but amateur astronomers can.
They often use homemade telescopes to continue the time-consuming task of observing space to confirm the existence of possible planets. In the meantime, a group of citizen researchers, including high school students in the state of California, have confirmed the existence of one of the possible planets observed by TESS using telescopes installed in the yards of houses. This planet is part of a separate category of exoplanets called “warm Joupiters”.
This warm planet is in transition from a “cool” Jupiter like Jupiter in the solar system. This celestial body is a type of planet outside the solar system that is very close to its star.
Astronomers believe that piecing together information from the new planet will help them learn more about the evolution of giant planets, as well as whether hot Jupiters form near or far from their star. find Gaining more knowledge about the types of planets similar to Jupiter will help us get more information about the history of this planet in the solar system.
The newly discovered planet, TIC 393818343 b, located 300 light-years from Earth, has been confirmed by two large groups of citizen researchers.
