  W. M. Keck Observatory Presents 


Oodles of Exoplanets: The Search for other Habitable Worlds 
Dr. Greg Laughlin 
University of California, Santa Cruz 

Greg Laughlin, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz, will take us on a guided tour of the bizarre menagerie of planets that have been discovered outside our solar system. Astronomers are opening a new chapter in human history in which we will know, for the first time, whether Earth-like planets exist around other stars. Laughlin's talk also covers the work that he and his colleagues are doing to find potentially habitable planets orbiting the Sun’s nearest stellar neighbors.
