Using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new “hot Jupiter” exoplanet. The newfound alien world, estimated to be nearly three times as massive as Jupiter, orbits a rapidly rotating star known as TOI-778. The finding is reported in a paper published December 16 on the arXiv pre-print server.
