Unraveling Distant Worlds

  • March 21, 2026
The discovery of exoplanets has revealed a cosmos teeming with strange and diverse worlds -- some scorched by their stars, others light as cotton candy, shrouded in thick atmospheres, and a few that might resemble Earth. From molten lava planets to giant super-puffs and water-rich mini-Neptunes, exoplanets defy expectations at every turn.

Join us for a deep dive into the cutting-edge science of exoplanet exploration. How do we detect their atmospheres? Could they support life? And do they offer clues about Earth's own formation? With new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and upcoming telescopes, we are beginning to piece together the story of planetary evolution -- unlocking the chemistry of these distant worlds and rethinking the very definition of habitability.
