Future In Space Hangout: The Multitude of Planets

   



Future In Space Hangout: The Multitude of Planets

Ζωντανή μετάδοση στις 17 Ιουλ 2015
Recent
space telescope missions such as Kepler and Spitzer have given us
unprecedented data that have shown that there are many, many planets
orbiting other stars.  Current estimates show that there are enough
planets in our galaxy that for every star in the Milky Way, there are on
average 1.6 planets in orbit around them.  Many of these planets are
like the Earth and have the potential to harbor life.

In our
first FutureInSpace Hangout, we will explore this relatively brand new
study in space astronomy with expert members of the American
Astronomical Society, Dr. Natalie Batalha and Dr Sara Seager.  We will
discuss the current state of exoplanet research and look at what
exciting results may be in store for us as we deploy the next generation
of space telescope like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the
Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope (WFIRST), the Transiting Exoplanet
Survey Satellite (TESS) and the future High Definition Space Telescope
(HDST).

Please join +Tony Darnell Dr. +Alberto Conti and Dr.
Harley Thronson and bring your questions and comments for our experts
and we look forward to "Hanging Out" with you.
