Public Lecture: How to Find an Inhabited Exoplanet

Professor David Charbonneau, Harvard University
November 15, 2018 - 7:00pm
Whitaker Hall, Room 100

The NASA Kepler Mission taught us that Earth-sized planets are commonplace throughout the Galaxy.  But did life take root on any of these distant worlds?  Using upcoming large telescopes, astronomers will search the atmospheres of Earth-like planets for the telltale chemical fingerprints of life.
