Wolf Cukier was interning for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where he spotted something in NASA's planet-hunting TESS mission's star data.
"I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had flagged as an eclipsing binary, a system where two stars circle around each other and from our view eclipse each other every orbit. "About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first I thought it was a stellar eclipse, but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet," he said.
