About this episode
Eind januari van dit jaar, 2026, lazen we in het nieuws over de vondst van een ietwat koude exoplaneet, die grote gelijkenis vertoont met onze planeet aarde. Luisteraar Bert attendeerde mij erop. De grote vraag is dus... moeten we onze koffers gaan pakken? En nog belangrijker: moeten de ski-spullen mee. Laten we in deze aflevering de feiten eens langslopen.
