Scientists with NASA will host a live press conference Wednesday beginning at 11 a.m. The event will be broadcast on NASA’s television station, and streamed live on its website.

The topic of the press conference is said to be exoplanets. An exoplanet is a planet which is orbiting a star other than our sun, and they are NASA’s best hope for life elsewhere in the universe.

NASA has announced the live broadcast will be followed by a Reddit AMA, or ask me anything session. The public can submit questions by using the hashtag #AskNasa during the conference.
