Exceeding expectations, TESS data has also enabled significant studies in other areas of astronomy: the interiors of giant stars and their preferred location in the Milky Way, the frequency of stellar flares, outbursting active galaxies, binary star systems about to go supernova, star-shredding black holes, and the properties of Solar System asteroids and comets. It’s amazing what can be found just by staring at a large swath of sky continuously for 27 days.
In this talk, I will give an overview of TESS’ planet discoveries and describe the vibrant community process that leads from the discovery to the confirmation of these planets. I will also highlight a range of TESS’ non-exoplanet discoveries, and end with my view of what we might expect from the mission in the coming years.
