NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), currently in operation, is the follow-up to the successful Kepler mission. Its goal is to survey most of the sky for close by exoplanets and find the best Earth or super-Earth sized planets for future missions capable of further characterization, such as determining the makeup of their atmospheres and searching for possible biosignatures, which could indicate the presence of life.

Here, Earth is seen from 1.44 billion km away and appears as a blue dot at center right. The other bright dots nearby are stars. This is the third time ever that Earth has been imaged from the outer Solar System. The first image was taken by NASA’s Voyager-1 on Valentine’s Day in 1990 and famously titled “Pale Blue Dot”. Read Carl Sagan’s beautiful words reflecting on the original picture here or watch an inspiring video here to hear him speak these famous words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/28b8dc0a-7868-461f-ad12-b8d283c1ae49/jane-goodall-05.jpg Home “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." -Jane Goodall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/4e4826e6-3000-47a3-8e6a-40c8e32b5e6b/EarthRise1968.jpg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/f8f528fd-2b04-4906-86ea-980cd77ea365/we-came-in-peace-nixon.jpeg Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/1452196706333-DALCBXCYNH07XSD0QNTS/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/5ce785a4-c397-4463-a99b-9c5fbfc9e998/pale-blue-dot.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/bf9ed3b1-8f75-42d8-9420-b57b182c1019/DSC03671-reducedquality.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/28b8dc0a-7868-461f-ad12-b8d283c1ae49/jane-goodall-05.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/f8f528fd-2b04-4906-86ea-980cd77ea365/we-came-in-peace-nixon.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/4e4826e6-3000-47a3-8e6a-40c8e32b5e6b/EarthRise1968.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/251193e5-ee46-4b7e-bd67-7fb2b7c5e3ac/jimi-hendrix.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/1679962818719-GXI44NV0B5GLA8M2IE0D/IMG_1473+2.JPG Home https://astropartydan.com/about daily 0.75 2025-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/0d3f0152-648b-4eee-881e-ac313fded78c/Dan+in+the+corn+2023.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/0d3f0152-648b-4eee-881e-ac313fded78c/Dan+in+the+corn+2023.jpg https://astropartydan.com/modeling-instruction-astrophysics daily 0.75 2025-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/568cb0182399a30df61fe595/5e331ea8-4f36-459f-bee1-4da2a1b12649/Screenshot+2023-09-19+at+10.52.19+AM.png Modeling Instruction Astronomy - Make it stand out Table 1.
