from.<\/p>\n<p>According to scientists, the agency\u2019s exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS will uncover upwards of 12,000 exoplanets by 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Launched four years ago, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a space telescope designed to hunt for undiscovered worlds.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s searching an area of sky 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission in a bid to find candidates that could host alien life.<\/p>\n<p>So far, TESS has found nearly 5,000 worlds of all shapes and sizes, including gas giants, Neptune-like ice worlds and so-called Super-Earths.<\/p>\n<p>A Super-Earth has a mass higher than our planet\u2019s below those of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.<\/p>\n<p>A paper\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2202.03656.pdf\">published online<\/a>\u00a0last month predicted the number of exoplanets that TESS will find over the course of its seven-year mission.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Technology<\/a> made their calculations using data collected by the $287 million spacecraft to date.<\/p>\n<p>According to the team, new exoplanets will be discovered in readings already made by TESS as well as those it\u2019s yet to make.<\/p>\n<p>They predicted that the probe will discover many thousands more worlds across its three scheduled missions.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the researchers expect the discovery of 4,719 exoplanets from TESS\u2019s prime mission, which ran from 2018 to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>A further 3,707 and 4,093 worlds will emerge from its first and second extended missions that will run from 2022 to 2024.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a staggering total of 12,519 exoplanets, including dozens of Earth-like worlds that may or may not host alien microbes.<\/p>\n<p>The research was published in the pre-print journal Arxiv and has not yet been peer-reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Exoplanets are planets outside of our Solar System. Thousands have been discovered since the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>As well as being potential locations of extraterrestrial life, they provide opportunities to better understand the evolution of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>According to NASA\u2019s exoplanet\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/exoplanets.nasa.gov\/discovery\/exoplanet-catalog\/\">database<\/a>, of the ten exoplanets found this year, six are larger than Jupiter.<\/p>\n<p>They include HD 69123 b, which is three times the size of the gas giant and sits 245 light-years from Earth.<\/p>\n<p>It orbits a K-type star, according to NASA, and takes over three years to complete each <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> around its host.<\/p>\n<p>A number of smaller exoplanets have also been unearthed by astronomers.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/tech\/4848448\/nasa-find-alien-planets-2024-earth-like-worlds\/\">The Sun<\/a> and was reproduced here with permission. <\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
