X-WR-CALDESC:Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Thursday\, October 28 at 6:
 00pm Pacific Time (9:00pm Eastern) to hear Dr. Robert Zellem from NASA’s J
 PL share how astronomers discover and characterize exoplanets.\n\nWhat is 
 an exoplanet?\n\nAn exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system. Most 
 orbit other stars\, but free-floating exoplanets\, called rogue planets\, 
 orbit the galactic center and are untethered to any star. Most of the exop
 lanets discovered so far are in a relatively small region of our galaxy\, 
 the Milky Way. We know from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope that there are m
 ore planets than stars in the galaxy.\n\nBy measuring exoplanets’ sizes (d
 iameters) and masses (weights)\, we can see compositions ranging from very
  rocky (like Earth and Venus) to very gas-rich (like Jupiter and Saturn). 
 Exoplanets are made up of elements similar to those of the planets in our 
 solar system\, but their mixes of those elements may differ.\n\nNow we liv
 e in a universe of exoplanets. The count of confirmed planets is in the th
 ousands and rising. That’s from only a small sampling of the galaxy as a w
 hole. The count could rise to the tens of thousands within a decade\, as w
 e increase the number\, and observing power\, of robotic telescopes lofted
  into space.\n\nNight Sky Network members can help in the study of exoplan
 ets by observing them with your own telescope and camera and participating
  in the citizen science project Exoplanet Watch!\n----------------------\n
 About Dr. Robert Zellem\n\nRob is a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab
 oratory working on ground- and space-based observations of the atmospheres
  of exoplanets\, planets outside of our Solar System. He has observed and 
 worked at major observatories and is involved with developing simulations 
 to predict the ability of NASA and ESA exoplanet-dedicated missions to mea
 sure exoplanet atmospheres. Rob also is active in leading citizen science 
 projects to help aid in the characterization of exoplanets.\n\nFurther Inf
 ormation and Additional Viewing Options see below.\n\nThe event will also 
 be streaming live on YouTube\, but please note that questions asked over t
 he NSN-members-only Zoom Q&A will be prioritized.
