27 days, 2 transits, 3 eclipses, 1st circumbinary planet detected from a single sector of TESS dataResearchers announced  they detected a planet in a 200-days orbit around two stars from observations of just one TESS sector over an observation period of 27 days. Previous detections of circumbinary planets required observing three transits which was not possible in the short observation window.
