By the end of September 2025, when the final image in this mosaic was captured, TESS had discovered 679 confirmed exoplanets (blue dots) and 5,165 candidates (orange dots). The bright arc crossing the center represents the plane of the Milky Way. The Large Magellanic Cloud is visible near the bottom, just left of center.
