SUMMARY:Exoplanets\, on the Hunt for Universal Life - Didier Queloz (Unive
 rsity of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20181115T180000Z

CONTACT:Ruslan Kotlyarov
DESCRIPTION:The present exoplanets collection is not only made of gas gian
 ts like our own Jupiter\, but also includes a steeply fraction of smaller 
 planets some believed to be of similar composition than the Earth. For som
 e of these exoplanets basic information on their atmospheric properties ha
 ve even been retrieved. These early results are paving the way for future 
 atmospheric studies of habitable terrestrial exoplanets with the hope to o
 btain a solid evidence of the existence of life around another star. Confi
 ned for centuries to the category of pure speculation and philosophical de
 bates\, the existence of life outside our solar system\, is at the edge of
  reaching the stage of a testable scientific hypothesis.
