30th Oct 2013 - BBC Evening Extra radio interview, BBC Radio Ulster – "Kepler-78 lava world"

Description

A radio interview on the back of a Nature paper reporting the discovery of the exoplanet Kepler-78b. At the time, Kepler-78b was the exoplanet with the radius, mass, and hence density most closely resembling the Earth - except it was in a ~8 hour orbit. Hence it was coined, "lava-world', in global media coverage.
