Neil deGrasse Tyson: If we found biosignatures on an ESO planet, what would be our next course of action considering they're so far away? Captain James Riley: The immediate reaction I would have would be skepticism. But eventually, yeah, it would be great if we could one day start imaging these planets,. maybe building something like Louvoir or Habex.
What is the weirdest planet ever discovered? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice discover bizarre exoplanets like Erebus, the impacts of living on a habitable moon, hot Jupiters, and more with astronomy professor David Kipping.
