Secret planet the size of JUPITER found – and Nasa admits it ‘missed’ it for decades... - The Sun

A TEAM of citizen scientists and astronomers has found a planet the size of Jupiter that NASA missed.

Until recently, evidence of the exoplanet's existence remained hidden even from NASA scientists as it was buried deep in data collected by the agency's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

The team of citizen scientists, on the other hand, were able to discover the exoplanet by using a downloadable software called LcTools, which allowed them to manually sift through TESS data.
