Description
This week I was delighted to chat with Dr. Jessie Christiansen about the search for exoplanets and her work on NASA's TESS mission. We chatted about a wide ranging list of topics, including:► How exoplanets are named;► How far away the most distant detected exoplanet is;► The prospects for detecting exomoons;► The oddball nature of many exoplanet systems that have been detected;► And much more.Image Credit: MIT, NASASpecial shoutout to Launch Pad Astronomy for his SuperChat during the stream!Our Dom's cheese of the week was Red Witch, a Swiss cheese with a paprika-rubbed peppery red rind.Join the show recording every Thursday at 8pm ET by leaving a voicemail at www.SpaceRadioShow.com.Support the show on Patreon.Follow on Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube.Justin G, Matthew K, Chris L, Barbara K, Duncan M, Corey D, Justin Z, Neuterdude, Nate H, Andrew F, Naila, Aaron S, Scott M, Rob H, Lowell, David B, Frank T, Tim R, Alex P, Tom Van S, Mark R, Alan B, Craig B, Richard K, Steve P, Dave L, Chuck C, Stephen M, Maureen R, Stace J, Neil P, lothian53 , COTFM, Stephen S, Ken L, Debra S, Alberto M, Matt C, Ron S, Joe R, Jeremy K, David P, Norm Z, Ulfert B, Robert B, Fr.
