NASA’s TESS mission has detected its first exoplanet through gravitational microlensing, identifying Gaia23bra b, a super-Jupiter revealed by the warping of space-time rather than by a transit. The planet orbits an orange dwarf at a Jupiter-like distance, and its discovery suggests that more wide-orbit microlensing planets may be hidden in eight years of archived TESS data. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ae7a50
