There are thousands of known exoplanets that scientists discovered in the past two decades. Scientists believe that exoplanets are our best chance to find an extraterrestrial life.

There is special interest in planets that orbit in a star's habitable zone, where it is possible for liquid water, a prerequisite for life on Earth, to exist on the surface.

The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency's website. You can also ask questions during the briefing on Twitter using the hashtag #askNASA.
