(2/2) Gaia is a high-resolution, spectroscopic survey of stars while TESS is a low-resolution survey of bright stars with the predominant aim of finding planets. Both telescopes are excellent but produce different data for different purposes.

It's a scary world right now, so here is a fun plot I made. This is the star field around one of my research targets from #TESS. Here, you can see stars from the Gaia survey over-plotted on the TESS field. This is a great way to see the range of precision in modern #telescopes. (1/2)

What do circumbinary planet transits look like?

As the planet crosses each star, it creates a dip in the light curve (brightness of the system plotted versus time). These dips (transits) have different depths and lengths which are dependent on many different factors.
