The oblateness of transiting exoplanets will affect the transit light curves. The transit method also makes it possible to study the atmosphere of the transiting planet. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite launched in April 2018. Eclipses were detected using data obtained with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). During Operation Desert Storm, Loring's tankers were responsible for refueling aircraft transiting the Atlantic. TESS is designed to carry out the first spaceborne all-sky transiting exoplanet survey. Further interferometry imaged the secondary star transiting the primary. The maximum allowed length of vessels transiting the Suez Canal is 400 meters. It is organized for the purpose of obtaining weather and oceanographic observations from transiting ships. As with a toll road, vessels transiting the canal must pay tolls. About 300,000 migrating birds were transiting annually only through the Saemangeum tidal flat area. In 2008, there were 17,743,495 passengers transiting through the causeway. The carrier was transiting the Suez Canal on 18 March 2014. Passports are required for those transiting a foreign country between the United States and Guam. Today, Lajes continues to support transiting aircraft.
