HabEx, the Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, is a NASA project to find Earth-like planets outside the solar system.

As astronomers continue to discover new planets and exoplanets in our solar system, a new way of gathering information about them is being spearheaded by a professor from The Ohio State University.

Joining Dean and Anna after they talk a little Pi is Professor Scott Gaudi, project co-chair of the Habitable Exoplanet Observatory.
