Through the discovery of exoplanets — the thousands of planets that have been found orbiting stars beyond the Sun — we have learned that our solar system is not alone in the universe, and we have had to redefine our understanding of planets and solar systems.

Join us for a special presentation from astronomer and planetary scientist, Dr. Sara Seager, who will share how new achievements like the Kepler Telescope and rapidly improving technology put us one step closer to the possibility of finding an Earth-like world. Hear how this will change how we view our place in the universe.

Dr. Sara Seager will be available afterwards to sign copies of her memoir The Smallest Lights in the Universe: A Memoir. Copies will be available for purchase.
