Explanation / Answer

1.gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are extremely energetic explosions that have been observed in distant galaxies. They are the brightest electromagnetic events known to occur in the universe. It can last from ten milliseconds to several hours.

2. NASA's Kepler Space Telescope is an observatory located at space

Kepler's first discovery of an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of its star in April 2014 is one of the achievements of Kepler

3. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission.

The operational orbit chosen for TESS is a highly eccentric, 2:1 lunar resonance orbit of 108,400 by 376,300 Kilometers at an inclination of 37 degrees,

TESS will survey 200,000 of the brightest stars near the sun to search for transiting exoplanets.
