This month is an exciting one for space. NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite – also known as TESS – has been busily discovering planets. In the works too is Minerva-Australis, an exoplanet observatory designed to follow up on TESS’ discoveries, being built at the University of Southern Queensland’s Mt Kent Observatory.

From the University of Southern Queensland is Jonathan Horner, Professor of Astrophysics, to talk about the news.
