Prof. David Charbonneau, Harvard University, is the 2018 Robert M. Walker Distinguished Lecturer.
The NASA Kepler Mission taught us that Earth-sized planets are commonplace throughout the Galaxy. But did life take root on any of these distant worlds? Using upcoming large telescopes, astronomers will search the atmospheres of Earth-like planets for the telltale chemical fingerprints of life. |
