All life on Earth requires water. Discovering where life exists elsewhere in the universe is one of the key questions astronomers want to answer.
In this Science on Saturday show, we will discuss how water and life are so strongly intertwined. One of our scientists, who is located in the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, will talk about the search for life within our solar system and where we might find worlds capable of supporting life elsewhere in the galaxy. Scientists and engineers at the Lincoln Laboratory will then give a closer look at some of the tiny life forms found in water on Earth. They will also demonstrate the techniques used to design the space missions necessary to look for life in our solar system and beyond.
This will be a hybrid, in-person event shown in the Auditorium. Limited seating is available and prior registration is required.
