NASA's newest planet-hunting telescope is hard at work gathering its 
first data — but just how many planets might it hunt down?

According to new estimates put together by scientists on the team 
behind the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, the 
instrument should identify about 10,000 planets in its two-year 
mission; 3,500 of them should be smaller than Neptune, the mission's 
focus. And if the telescope can stay at work longer than its current 
plan, those numbers will only go up.[...]
