When scientists discover a new exoplanet, there are things they can learn about it from afar, like which chemicals are in its atmosphere and how long it takes to orbit its home star. But the only way to know for sure what it’s like on the surface is to see it for yourself. In this original music video from our space comedy show, Wow! Signal, an artist imagines the surface of a mysterious green planet covered in tiny trees.

WATCH WOW! SIGNAL EPISODE 12: EXOPLANETS
In this episode, a travel company uses artificial intelligence to create terrible, questionably legal planets just for you; an alien asks a human for help decoding a mysterious golden circle; investigative reporter Stacey Quasar gets to the bottom of exoplanets; a goose searches for the perfect planetary surface to walk on; and a rogue planet longs for the open sky.

Wow! Signal is a production of the Adler Planetarium—the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
