Scientists Validate Longest Period Exoplanets Discovered by TESS
In a recent breakthrough, scientists have validated the longest-period exoplanet known to date, discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This newfound planet, named TOI-1231 b, orbits its host star every 845 days, a length of time that is longer than any other exoplanet that has been confirmed to date. This discovery provides researchers with a unique opportunity to study the effects of long-term orbital evolution on exoplanets.
