The newest NASA telescope placed in orbit is called TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite).  It is designed to discover planets that pass in front of their host stars blocking small portion of the light normally emitted.  TESS was put in orbit April 18, 2018 and is intended to replace the Kepler Telescope that is now out of service. TESS watches the stars in an area 400 times larger than the Kepler Telescope and when a planet passes in front of a star, the overall light emitted is dimmed. ​
