Astronomer and Associate Curator of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History Dr. Ruth Angus joins WIRED to answer the internet’s burning questions about exoplanets. What is the most extreme exoplanet? Have we discovered any habitable planets yet? How are the waves on Miller’s planet (Interstellar) so big? Answers to these questions and many more await on Exoplanet Support.
