The search for alien worlds in our galaxy…
Join Carrie Fitzgerald on November 4th at 7pm when this physicist, educator and NASA Solar Ambassador brings us her exciting presentation “Planets, and More Planets!”, on the search for alien worlds in our Galaxy.
Over 4,000 planets outside of our Solar System have been discovered since the early 1990s, and thousands more “candidate” planets await confirmation. It seems our Galaxy is teeming with exoplanets! In this presentation you’ll learn how astronomers detect exoplanets, as well as some unexpected observations about these alien worlds, and how these observations have impacted our place in the universe.
