The Astronomical Society of Greenwich will present Dr. Caleb Scharf speaking on “Exoplanets, Astrobiology and Other Interesting Things,” on Sunday, March 3 at 3:30 p.m., in the Cole Auditorium of Greenwich Library.
Scharf is Director of Astrobiology at Columbia University and Author of The Zoomable Universe. He will discuss how we can explore the universe at all physical scales to understand the ways in which matter assembles itself into galaxies, stars, planets, and in at least one place, life. A key aspect of this exploration is the field of exoplanetary science, which also tells us much about our own solar system, our own planet Earth, the fundamental nature of life and our own future in the cosmos.
The talk is open to the public. No registration is required, and all ages are welcome. For more information, contact Michele Martin at, 203-625-6533 or mmartin@greenwichlibrary.org, or visit astrogreenwich.org. This program is co-sponsored by The Astronomical Society of Greenwich and Greenwich Library.
