Comparing apples and oranges and exoplanets on Al Jazeera

Keith’s note: I was on Al Jazeera Arabic TV tonight talking about recent exoplanet discoveries, life in the universe, etc. Since I was speaking through an interpreter (I used to be one too) I decided to use fruit instead of planets with their names – TOI 700e became the “apple planet” and LHS 475b became the “orange planet”. So yes, I was ‘comparing apples and oranges’. Audio
