ON EXOPLANETS AND LOVE: NATALIE BATALHA ON SCIENCE THAT CONNECTS US TO ONE ANOTHER
February 12, 2013

"A mission scientist with NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, Natalie Batalha hunts for exoplanets — Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system that might harbor life. She speaks about unexpected connections between things like love and dark energy, science and gratitude, and how "exploring the heavens" brings the beauty of the cosmos and the exuberance of scientific discovery closer to us all."
