As far as impressing your potential new boss goes, discovering a planet on day three of your internship at NASA is up there.
That's what happened to 17-year-old Wolf Cukier while helping out at the space agency in the United States, Report says, citing the BBC.
He was checking images from its super-strength satellite when he noticed something strange.
It turned out to be a new planet, 1,300 light-years away from Earth. News just confirmed by NASA.
Wolf, who is now back in high school in Scarsdale, New York, has been speaking to Radio 1 Newsbeat about his amazing discovery.
He explained that he landed the two-month placement with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center when school finished last summer.
His job is to examine data beamed back via their Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) - a space telescope that looks for planets outside of our solar system.
"I was searching for a planet that orbits two stars," he explains.
He had to look for changes in the brightness of any stars that might suggest the shadow of a planet passing in front.
So just three days in, when most of us would still be making tea, he was looking at a solar system many light years away from ours and noticed something blocking the light of two stars.
That was when he flagged it.
"I took it to my mentor, we looked at the data from the stars and noticed two additional dips in light, so we started doing analysis to see if it actually could be a planet."
His finding was enough to get other scientists involved. The inspection revealed a planet that is almost 6.9 times as large as Earth. It's name? TOI 1338 b.
Not very catchy, but Wolf says he wasn't asked to help with that.
"I don't get to name the planet. My brother had the idea of calling it Wolftopia but I think TOI 1338 b is sufficient."
This planet is not habitable. Wolf explains that it is likely to be extremely hot and probably doesn't have a solid surface.
So does his discovery mean he is guaranteed a job at NASA one day?
"I've no idea about NASA's hiring practices but it can't hurt! It's a good thing to have on my CV," he says.
He adds that the space agency has been "impressed" by what he achieved on his internship though.
"My mentor has been very supportive and excited. I think NASA is surprised with the amount of attention this has been getting."
