Story summary

NASA's "StarryStarryProcess" improves the analysis of stellar "spottiness" and exoplanet atmospheres using TESS and Pandora satellite data.
This method provides insights into star characteristics, enhancing knowledge of exoplanets like TOI 3884 b, a gas giant found in 2022.
The process currently focuses on visible light but will broaden with Pandora's multi-wavelength capabilities.
