There are over 6000 confirmed exoplanets and billions more predicted in just our Milky Way galaxy alone. So what types of planets are these, how do we detect them, how are they different from those in our solar system and could any harbour life? Three astrophysicists sit down to discuss it all. Dr Larissa Palethorpe, Dr Hannah Wakeford and Dr Matt Bothwell to be precise.

This panel was recorded on The Apollo stage in The Cosmic Shambles Forest of Science and Culture at the 2026 Latitude Festival. The Shambles Forest is a place where creativity and curiously collide every year at Latitude. Support The Cosmic Shambles Network at patreon.com/cosmicshambles
