Kepler space telescope: planet finder?
William Borucki, principal investigator for NASA's Discovery Mission Kepler, will speak at Texas Christian University Monday night (Feb. 25) at 8 p.m. in Sid Richardson Lecture Hall 1.
Borucki will discuss his work at the Ames Research Center, including plans for the forthcoming launch of the Kepler telescope (scheduled for Feb. of 2009, which will be tasked with searching for Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars in the nearby (like) universe. Borucki will touch on the uniqueness of our planet, along with the possibility of identifying planets similar to ours within detecting distance. (The possibility of which presumably exists, otherwise NASA wouldn't be expending the effort to research it.)
For further information contact Mike Fanelli at 817-257-6387.
