b'Meet Ana Humphrey. She hasn\\u2019t graduated from high school yet, but she\\u2019s already discovered 560 places outside our solar system where we could find hidden planets. Ana won the 2019 Regeneron Science Talent Search with her project that used a mathematical model to pinpoint locations for exoplanet search parties. But Ana\\u2019s story is more than a successful science fair project. Find out how Ana\\u2019s love for science, math, and making a difference in her community helped her become a high school astronomer!\\n\\nYou can hear our full interview with Ana on our Patreon and Castbox Premium channel.
