Most exoplanets discovered thus far are similar to Earth and researchers believe they possess organic matter, the building blocks of life.
According to the press release, the conference will be attended by scientists and astronomers from all over the world.
NASA officials also stated that the public could ask questions during the Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, which would take place right after the briefing. The public could also use the hashtag #AskNasa and raise their questions while the conference is going on.
The scientists will answer the asked questions in English and Spanish.
