PATHFINDER AI and the TESS Database

Powered by NASA’s TESS Telescope

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a space telescope launched by NASA to search for planets beyond our solar system. It captures "videos" of stars over days or weeks, producing Target Pixel Files — small patches of light representing individual stars. Each pixel records the number of photons hitting the telescope’s sensor, creating a treasure trove of data. PATHFINDER AI dives into this archive, decoding the light to reveal new worlds.

PATHFINDER AI in Action: How It Finds Planets

Using Fourier transforms,

it identifies consistent patterns (e.g., a dip every 3.5 days).

The system scans for periodic dips

— moments when a planet blocks part of the star’s light.

PATHFINDER AI

sums the brightness of all pixels in each frame, creating a light curve.

TESS records a star’s light over time,

TESS records a star’s light over time, producing a video-like sequence.

Wait…
There's more!

The detected period

is overlaid on the original graph. If it matches perfectly, a new planet is confirmed!

This process turns

raw numbers into a map of the galaxy's hidden planets.

FAQ :

All answers here

What is the transit method?

It's a technique for detecting planets that measures tiny drops in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front of it.

How does PATHFINDER AI use TESS data?

It analyzes Target Pixel Files from TESS, summing pixel brightness and plotting it to find planetary signals.

Can it confirm a planet exists?

Yes, by using Fourier analysis to verify periodic patterns in the data.

Who can use PATHFINDER AI?

Astronomers, researchers, and space enthusiasts interested in exoplanet discovery!
