Public Astronomy Lecture at Stanford/KIPAC
Details
### Have you ever wondered whether Earth is truly unique?
Join us for a fascinating public lecture at Stanford by Professor Laura Schaefer, a planetary scientist studying rocky exoplanets and their atmospheres using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
In just a few decades, we've gone from wondering whether planets exist around other stars to discovering thousands of them. Now, thanks to JWST, scientists are beginning to answer even bigger questions:
✨ Which rocky planets have atmospheres?
✨ Why do some worlds lose them while others keep them?
✨ What makes a planet potentially habitable?
✨ And how close are we to finding another Earth?
Whether you're passionate about astronomy or simply curious about the universe, this talk promises an accessible and inspiring journey through some of the newest discoveries in planetary science.
I won't be in town until the end of the month, so this time you'll have to explore the universe without me. 😉 But that's no reason to stay home! Stretch your brain a little, discover something fascinating, and who knows—you might just find your next favorite conversation partner.
