Science Writer Lee Billings on the Discovery of a Potential New World

On today's episode of Cool Science Radio:

 

We talk about the dawn of a revolution in astronomy with our guest, science writer Lee Billings.

 

For the first time ever, astronomers may have glimpsed light from a world in a life-friendly orbit around another star.

 

This promising potential world was spied around Alpha Centauri.

 

Could it be a planet? Could it be a "warm Neptune", or is it a mirage?

 

Billings explores the potential of these findings and how it could bring about a new era in astronomy.
