The next episode of Star Talk features the expertise of a colleague from Princeton University. Gaspar Bakosch is at the Department of Astrophysics there, where he has developed a system of small telescopes to discover exoplanets. We also learned how these satellite trails that we've read all about and seen videos of launched from rockets affect the data that he's searching for. All coming up on Star Talk.
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.
