With the recent launch of TESS and the JWST scheduled to launch by 2020 - a lot of attention has been focused on the next-generation space telescopes that will be taking to space in the coming years.
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has launched on the first-of-its-kind mission to find worlds beyond our solar system, including some that could support life.
Set to lift off early next week, the Tess spacecraft will prowl for planets around the closest, brightest stars. These newfound worlds will become prime targets for future telescopes looking to tease out any signs of life.
Everything from meteor showers and eclipses to epic space missions and more, 2017 will be worth looking up for and forward too.
