On March 21, 2022, the number of known exoplanets passed 5,000. Sara Seager, Astrophysicist & planetary scientist from MIT, joins Chrissy Newton to discuss how she navigates politics in the science community and does she think we're alone in the universe? The animation and sonification in the beginning of the video, tracks humanity's discovery of the planets beyond our solar system over time. Turning NASA data into sounds allows you to hear the pace of discovery. As each exoplanet is discovered, a circle appears at its position in the sky. The music is created by playing a note for each newly discovered world.
Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
