What happens when a star strays too close to a black hole? Intense tides break it apart into a stream of gas. Observations by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite - TESS mission helped produce the most detailed look yet at the beginning of this cataclysmic phenomenon.

Our planet-hunting Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered 66 worlds, observed exploding stars, and watched a black hole shred a star like our Sun. And that's just part of the story. Now in its extended NASA Exoplanets mission, TESS is surveying the universe better and faster than ever before.

5 years ago today, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which scours the skies to find distant worlds, began sending groundbreaking discoveries back to Earth. 🛰️ 🌎 TESS, built by Northrop Grumman (MIT provided the instrument), can detect from light years away planets smaller than Earth, like these that receive up to 20 times the solar radiation Earth gets from our Sun.
