Re-release: Exoplanets with Alexander Winn Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

This week, we are re-releasing our episode on Exoplanets to coincide with NASA's discovery of "Planetary Photobombing"...

In the last few decades, we have learned that most of these stars are hosts to their own systems of planets, just as the Sun is to our Solar System. We call these worlds exoplanets, or extrasolar planets. Alexander Winn takes us incredible distances to learn about them.
