But a 17-years-old boy named Wolf Cukier from New York has done something amazing. Back in 2019, he was doing an internship at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt. When he was just three days into his internship, he found a brand new planet located 1,300 light-years away from us. OMG!

“About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338b. At first, I thought it was a stellar eclipse, but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet,” explained the intern.

The planet orbits two stars instead of one, making it circumbinary

“One is about 10% more massive than our Sun, while the other is cooler, dimmer and only one-third the Sun’s mass,” explains NASA Goddard.
