Caption: Figure 1.

Top: 19 × 19 pixel (﹩6\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime} }5﹩) stacks along the path of 2026 ED138 after star subtraction, per sector and combined (red), on one color scale, labeled with their significance. Middle: the sky path seen from TESS (JPL orbit) and orbital elements from JPL and from TESS alone. Bottom: TESS magnitudes, with JPL’s prediction (thin line) and its value at opposition, when TESS observes (thick line). Scattered light may explain the fainter magnitude and lower precision of Sector 39.
