Alan Boss was featured in a February 11 segment on the National Public Radio show Morning Edition with Nell Boyce, who interviewed Boss about what may be the first image of an extrasolar planet. Boss’s comments focused mainly on the issue of how a planet is defined and the specific attributes an object must have in order to qualify as a planet. In the future these clarifications, along with further analysis of the images, will help to determine if these new images are in fact the first ever taken of an extrasolar planet.

A brief article about the story, as well as a downloadable audio file of the interview, are available here.
