Published 2020-01-13
The search for exoplanets is an effort to understand our place in the universe. How special are we? Is there another Earth out there? Are there other versions of us?
TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, is currently surveying the entire sky to get us closer to the answer. It's an exoplanet hunter unlike any other, and it could change the way we see ourselves.
Special thanks to Dr. Sara Seagar for her help in researching this video.

I've recently started the transition into the hardest times of my life and watching your weekly uploads is one of the few pleasures I can both still enjoy and that captures a bit of the normalcy that has left my life.. So thank you for everything you do, it is appreciated so much more than you can know.
