SMP 12/6/14 | Peering into the Atmospheres of Strange New Worlds | Speaker: Emily Rauscher

Saturday, December 6, 2014
5:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building

In the last 20 years over 1,500 planets have been discovered orbiting around nearby stars and most of these exoplanets are completely unlike anything in our solar system. Astronomers have developed incredible methods that allow us measure the atmospheric properties of some planets, giving us clues as to the physical conditions on these exotic worlds. Dr. Rauscher will discuss the current status and future of these grand endeavors.
