In the past decade, astronomers have identified over 100 planets orbiting stars other than the sun. What are those worlds like -- and is it likely that they host living organisms? If intelligent life has evolved elsewhere in the galaxy, could extraterrestrials travel between stars? Might they have tried to communicate with us or visit us?
We can explore these questions by applying some very simple principles of physics, biology, and chemistry. Come join the discussion!
Free and open to the public.
A place to relax, enjoy some coffee and cookies, and explore ideas about our physical universe ... for science and non-science types alike!
