Nasa Is To Host A Major Press Conference On A “discovery Beyond Our Solar System”.
Nasa is to host a major press conference on a “discovery beyond our solar system”.
The event will see the revelation of major information about exoplanets, or planets that orbit stars other than our sun, according to a release. It made no further mention of the details of what would be revealed.
Exoplanets are the major hope for life elsewhere in the universe, since many have been found that resemble our own Earth and could have the building blocks of life. More of them are being discovered all the time.
The event will take place on 22 February at 1pm New York time, it said. It will be streamed live on Nasa’s television station and on its website.
Attending the press conference will be astronomers and planetary scientists from across the world.
Nasa said that the public will be able to ask questions using the hashtag #AskNasa during the conference. The agency will also hold a Reddit AMA, or ask me anything, session straight after the briefing.

What’s Up for February?
What’s Up for February? Look to the night sky for a brighter Venus, Comet 45P, asteroid Vesta and more.
Tonight, you can see Venus along with a crescent moon, Mars and Uranus just after sunset. No binoculars needed!
While there are no meteor showers this month, behold the zodiacal light!
This phenomenon is caused when sunlight reflects off dust particles in the plane of our solar system. Use Venus and Mars as a cone-shaped guide on the western horizon in late February and March.
Comet 45P will be visible using binoculars and telescope and will make its closest approach to Earth on February 11.
Finally, bright asteroid Vesta can be found in the constellation Pisces.
