What weird and wonderful planets orbit the stars that shine brightly in our night sky? NASA's TESS mission, launched in April 2018, is a space telescope finding the exoplanets that are our nearest neighbors. MIT researcher Natalia Guerrero manages the team that plucks potential planets out of the sea of stars in the TESS camera images. She will share TESS’s latest and most exciting exoplanet discoveries and describe how getting to know our exoplanet neighbors helps us better understand where Earth belongs in the wide variety of possible worlds.
