Exoplanets: The Quest for Strange New Worlds (live public talk)
Ζωντανή μετάδοση στις 12 Ιαν 2017
Original air date: January 12 at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET, 0300 UTC)
Planets
orbiting other stars, or exoplanets, have become an important field of
astronomical study over the past two and a half decades. Recent findings
from NASA's Kepler mission suggest that nearly every star you see in
the night sky probably has exoplanets orbiting it. The number of
confirmed exoplanets is now a few thousand. This talk will present a
brief history of exoplanet discoveries, the story of the “super-Saturn”
extrasolar ring system, and summarize NASA’s ongoing future plans to
discover and characterize “strange new worlds.”
Speaker: Eric Mamajek, Deputy Program Chief Scientist, NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program, JPL
