Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) presents “Solar System Exploration: A Journey Through Our Cosmic Neighborhood" on Nov. 7th from 5:30-7:00pm.
The lecture will start with a basic description of our place in the universe and of the fundamental laws that govern planetary motions. Our journey will then focus on our cosmic neighborhood, from our star the Sun, to our Moon, to Terrestrial and Jovian planets, through rocky asteroids and icy comets. We will compare our Earth’s geology and atmosphere with those of the other planets, and learn about the delicate equilibrium that enables the existence of life on Earth. The lecture will end with an overview of the search for other planetary systems and life beyond Earth.
