We present 2,241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its two-year prime mission. list these in TESS Objects of Interest (TOI) Catalog, which includes both new planet found by and previously-known planets recovered observations. describe process used to identify TOIs investigate characteristics candidates, discuss some notable discoveries. The TOI Catalog an unprecedented number small around nearby bright stars, are...
Understanding how climate and biology changed during after Snowball Earth events - global glaciations which coincided with major shifts in the ocean-atmosphere state is critical for understanding evolution of life on Earth. New observations Neoproterozoic Sturtian glaciation pose challenges to paradigm. Precision geochronology shows that lasted ~56 Myr, lack sulfur-MIF signals observed indicates atmosphere remained oxygenated throughout. A source O2 required maintain an but canonical...
