We made our most
intriguing discovery so far. Uh, TESS 421a. And 421a,
it orbits an M dwarf. Uh, it's in
the Goldilocks zone where the temperature, you know, is just
right for liquid water. It's about
20 light-years away. And, uh, its size
is closer to Earth's than any other
planet recorded. Has TESS
found any initial evidence to suggest that there
is life on this planet? Uh, no, that's not
the primary objective of TESS. I mean, we're merely
an Earth survey mission to search for
Earth-like planets. Webb's infrared capabilities
will allow us... The objective of TESS is to
find Earth-like planets

We made our most
intriguing discovery so far.
00:00:04.471 --> 00:00:06.671
Uh, TESS 421a.
00:00:06.673 --> 00:00:09.034
And 421a,
it orbits an M dwarf.
00:00:09.342 --> 00:00:11.309
Uh, it's in
the Goldilocks zone
00:00:11.311 --> 00:00:12.845
where the temperature,
00:00:12.847 --> 00:00:14.613
you know, is just
right for liquid water.
00:00:14.615 --> 00:00:16.282
It's about
20 light-years away.
00:00:16.284 --> 00:00:19.285
And, uh, its size
is closer to Earth's
00:00:19.287 --> 00:00:21.388
than any other
planet recorded.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.323
Has TESS
found any initial evidence
00:00:23.325 --> 00:00:25.357
to suggest that there
is life on this planet?
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.661
Uh, no, that's not
the primary objective of TESS.
00:00:28.663 --> 00:00:31.831
I mean, we're merely
an Earth survey mission
00:00:31.833 --> 00:00:33.469
to search for
Earth-like planets.
00:00:34.971 --> 00:00:37.537
Webb's infrared capabilities
will allow us...
00:00:37.539 --> 00:00:40.708
