Mysterious Dusty Object Discovered by Astronomers Using NASA’s TESS Planet Hunter

In 2018 The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite also known as TESS was launched into space to look for exoplanets. After some time it was found that it found a dusty object that is dimming the sun it is orbiting by 75 percent. We do not know for certain what it is, but there are some theories. One of them is that it is a celestial planet that has been destroyed in one way or another and the dust from the planet is dimming the sun.

Key Takeaways:

• TIC 400799224 is a mysterious object that we think is dusty due to the information given to us.
• We think that it could be a planet that is broken down and dust from it is dimming the sun
• It was found in 2018 and is still being researched and will be researched moving forward.

“The team plans to continue monitoring the object and to incorporate historical observations of the sky to try to determine its variations over many decades.”
