The first station we built is in Chile at Las Cabana Observatory in the Andes. The second one is in Namibia, in the Kalahari Desert. There was an existing installation there called the Hestelescopes. And the third one is in Australia and out back at Sightingspring Observatory.
How do we discover more exoplanets? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Matt Kirshen explore telescopes, exoplanets, and more with professor of astrophysics and Principal Investigator of HATNet Exoplanet Survey, Gáspár Bakos.
