4Are We Alone? The Search for Earth-Like Planets and Extraterrestrial Life
114 Berliner Hall, South Campus Stephen S. Lawrence, Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Is Earth unique? Are we the only planet that supports life? Only in the last 20 years have astronomers been able to make any meaningful progress in answering these profound questions. As of August 2014, astronomers have confirmed nearly 1,800 “exoplanets” orbiting other stars, many in multiple-planet solar systems similar to our own. Over 150 of these planets orbit within the “habitable zone” of their parent star – at the right distance to allow for liquid water on their surface. In this model class, Professor Lawrence reviews the astronomical techniques used to find these planets, and the future research that will allow us to determine if any of these planets are truly habitable and possibly even inhabited.
