Didier Queloz is a highly passionate person with a broad sense of humour. Instead of becoming a storyteller, he chose to become an astrophysicist. While working on his PhD., he made a discovery that changed astronomy entirely. Together with his professor Michel Mayor, Didier Queloz received the Physics Nobel Prize for this discovery.
