Is There Life Elsewhere in the Universe?

Enjoy an informative lecture hosted by the Astronomical Society of Greenwich, as part of their fall lecture series.

Are there places in the Solar System other than the Earth where life exists or might have existed in the past? How would we find it? What do we need to know to make the case that something is alive?

Dr. Lawrence Faltz will discuss how we define life physically and chemically, the history of life on Earth, where we might look for it elsewhere in our Solar System, and how we might detect life beyond the Solar System.
