Event Details

Over 30 years ago, we discovered the first planet residing outside our own solar system. Since then, we have detected nearly 6,000 of these exoplanets, many of them in the habitable zone. What is the habitable zone, and how does it relate to finding life on these planets? Is there another Earth somewhere in the Milky Way? Presented by Dr. Dennis D. Roscoe.
