Photo of Ambassador
Paul Hueper became fascinated with astronomy as a teenager in the late 1970s. Starting out with a simple three-inch telescope, he learned to appreciate the Universe's immensity and grandeur with even the most modest equipment. Paul now has several larger telescopes and jointly owns Hopewell Observatory, which he helped to build in the Bull Run Mountains. He participates in public stargazing events in the Washington, DC area.

Paul enjoys studying "exoplanets," which are planets that orbit other stars. This is an exciting field not just for professional astronomers, but for the many amateurs like himself who can measure the variations in light that occur as exoplanets transit their host stars. His web site about exoplanets is at: www.exoplanetsearch.org

As a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador, Paul conveys the vast implications of current exoplanet searches and how NASA's work is accelerating efforts to find Earth-like planets and answer the question: "Are we alone?"
