We have some very exciting news: our paper summarising the results from the first two years of Planet Hunters TESS has been accepted for...

The above light curve, with its periodic increase and decrease in brightness, has the clear signature of an RR Lyrae stars. The...

This week we have an exotic EB, explained to us by Dr. Cole Johnston, where the primary star is a subdwarf which is the stripped...

Planet Hunters TESS users have identified two very interesting lightcurves of M-dwarf stars that show repeating patterns that are...

A new paper released this week and accepted by the Astronomical Journal (https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07783) announced the discovery of...

Many stars are not alone, but instead form part of a multi-stellar system of two or more stars that are gravitationally bound together....

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that are left over from the time of the formation of the Solar System. They range in sizes from small...

The pattern seen in this light curve could be due to the variability of a young stellar object (YSO), which is often related to a disc...

Some stars are quiet, Some stars pulsate, Some stars are single, Some have a mate. This is a pulsating star in a binary system. Thank you...

This week we have an EB where the two stars get so close to one another that their gravitational pull distorts their shapes, changing it...

The light curve of TIC 394177355 was already flagged by the Kepler team (KOI-3156) when it was observed back in 2015. It shows a...

This week we have a beautiful Delta Scuti variable that shows both primary and secondary eclipses caused by a second star. The beat-like...

This is a light curve of an eclipsing binary with some strange out-of-transit-variability. The transit depths suggest that there is one...

In addition to planets, there are many other interesting and unexplained systems to be found within the TESS data. Professor Matthew...

This beautiful dwarf nova has so far been observed by TESS in all of the northern hemisphere observational sectors released to date...

Dr. Annaleise Depper (Evaluation Officer, Public Engagement with Research) at the University of Oxford shares the results and findings...

TESS looks at thousands of stars every night providing us with some of the most beautiful, strange and mysterious light curves. Here is...

It has been an extremely exciting year for Planter Hunters TESS and we have identified multiple potential new planetary systems. Due to...

It has been exactly a year since the first public TESS data release and the launch of Planet Hunters TESS! Thank you to everyone who has...

Like many of you, I am extremely eager to find those tiny, elusive dips in the TESS lightcurves that reveal the existence of a distant,...
