ESOcast 80: Follow a Live Planet Hunt!

15 januari 2016

The quest to find alien worlds beyond our Solar System is one of the most exciting fields of modern astronomy. Now members of the public have a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and follow astronomers on a planet hunt as it happens. This ESOcast introduces the Pale Red Dot campaign, a new project that will provide the public with unprecedented access to the search for an Earth-like exoplanet around our nearest stellar neighbour, Proxima Centauri.

You can subscribe to the ESOcasts in iTunes, receive future episodes on YouTube or follow us on Vimeo.
