The Search for Extraterrestrial Life

One of humanity's biggest questions is, "are we alone?" Astronomers are searching our vast universe for signs of extraterrestrial life. How do we know what to look for? Where and how are we looking for life? We'll fly on a cosmic tour to look for places with the potential for life, and visit the robots and spacecraft that are helping us search along the way.

This event is open to Adult, Teens, and older children. 

About the presenter: Rachel Wang, an astronomer at the HR MacMillan Space Centre, is a graduate from UBC's Department of Physics and Astronomy. She loves to share her passion and knowledge about the universe with learners of all ages.
