Living Earths: The Astronomical Answer to “Are We Alone?"
Ζωντανή ροή πριν από 21 ώρες
NASA
has begun four concept studies of major space observatories that could
launch sometime in the coming couple decades. In this fourth in our
series on these studies, we discuss the Habitable Exoplanet (HabEx)
concept.
HabEx is a design for a highly capable observatory with
one of the most ambitious and exciting goals: the astronomical search
for life-bearing planets in the solar neighborhood.
The
discovery over the past few years that stars in the Milky Way may each
be orbited by at least one planet suggests that among these numerous
planetary systems may reside planets similar to Earth and perhaps even
harboring life.
The HabEx concept is intended to be the
astronomical community’s response to an age-old question of humanity,
“Are we alone in the cosmos?" Such observations require a large pristine
optical space telescope, which will also enable a broad range of unique
investigations in general astrophysics.
Please join our
regular hosts, Tony Darnell, Alberto Conti, and Harley Thronson, as they
discuss with Dr. Bertrand Mennesson (NASA JPL), Dr. Scott Gaudi (Ohio
State University) and Dr. Rachel Somerville (Rutgers University) the
astronomical search for life, exciting new studies in general
astrophysics, and the technological advances that will make it possible.
