Alien Worlds - 03

Alien Worlds focuses on the search (and study of) extraterrestrial worlds, some of which may harbor life. We will embark on an examination of our solar system, and the discovery and characterization of the more than 6000 confirmed planets orbiting other stars. This seminar will examine alien worlds we can touch, alien worlds on which we can land (or have landed), alien worlds that are studied from a great distance, and the question of how common life is in the Universe. Students will be exposed to the myriad discoveries coming from current studies of extrasolar planets, including recent results that indicate planets around other stars appear to be common.
