Description
English: The entire northern ecliptic sky imaged by TESS is captured in this mosaic. The north ecliptic pole lies at the center. The bright band of the Milky Way, the central plane of our galaxy, arcs through the scene at left. The Andromeda galaxy (M 31) can be seen as a prominent oval at about 10 o'clock. As of late October 2022, TESS had identified 87 confirmed planets and 1,736 candidates in the northern sky.
