This NASA intern made an out-of-this-world impression at his new gig.
Wolf Cukier, a high school intern at NASA from Scarsdale High School in New York State, helped discover the first-ever planet that orbits two suns, CNN reports. NASA’s planet-hunting TESS mission has discovered multiple planets since the program launched in 2018.
But this exciting new finding is more than mere busy work for an intern. Cukier made the discovery over the summer during an analysis of TESS’ star data. It was three days into his internship at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
