Astrobiology: The Search for Life in the Universe

People have often pondered the question of whether we are alone in the universe. More than seeking intelligent life, a fundamental question is
whether life of any form exists on other planets or moons. This talk will examine how NASA is seeking out the possibility of life on other worlds—from planets that orbit other stars, to planets and moons in our own
Solar System. The answers may also give us understanding of how life came to pass on Earth. This lecture will be presented by Neil J. Farber, MD, who is a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador. Dr. Farber, a Professor
Emeritus of Medicine at UCSD, practiced general internal medicine for 40 years, teaching, researching and providing patient care initially on the East Coast, and more recently at UCSD. Dr. Farber has been a Docent at the San Diego Air &Space Museum for the past six years.
