SUMMARY:Are We Alone in the Universe?
LOCATION:Nicolet College\, Northwoods Center 208
DESCRIPTION:February 27 · 10 AM to 12 Noon at Nicolet College\, Northwoods Center 208. More than 5\,000 exoplanets have been discovered\, and astronomers estimate that trillions more exist within the Milky Way. What are the chances that life exists beyond Earth? This program explores humanity's quest to answer this profound question. We'll examine how NASA and other organizations search for extraterrestrial life\, from robotic missions investigating asteroids\, moons\, and planets to powerful telescopes scanning distant worlds. We'll also explore Frank Drake's famous equation\, a framework for estimating the number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy\, while considering both the scientific discoveries and the philosophical implications of the search for life beyond Earth.
