Hey all. TESS delivered a special treat this week, when in it's testing stage, it managed to spy a comet shooting through our solar system. Apart from being cool in it's own right, this find is important anyway, as comets are a rare and fleeting window into the early formation of our solar system. They may even hold some of the secrets to abiogenesis on Earth or other worlds!
