A telescope has captured an otherworldly image of two planets appearing to pose for the camera while orbiting a star similar to our sun.
"This is the first time astronomers were able to capture such a shot," he wrote in an email to ABC News.
In January, a NASA intern made an out-of-this-world impression at his new gig.
Wolf Cukier, a high school intern at NASA from Scarsdale High School in New York State, helped discover the first-ever planet that orbits two suns, CNN reports.
NASA's planet-hunting TESS mission has discovered multiple planets since the program launched in 2018.
In 2018, NASA declared its elite planet-hunting spacecraft dead.
Officials announced the Kepler Space Telescope's demise Tuesday.
Already well past its expected lifetime, the 9-year-old Kepler had been running low on fuel for months. Its ability to point at specific regions in the cosmos worsened dramatically at the beginning of October, but flight controllers still managed to retrieve its latest observations. The telescope has now gone silent.
Kepler discovered more than 2,600 planets outside our solar system. It showed us rocky worlds the size of Earth that, like Earth, might harbor life. By staring down stars, Kepler also unveiled incredible super Earths: planets bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune.
