Earth-sized planets throughout our galaxy have made recent headlines. At the center of the news is Dr. Andrew Howard, astronomer from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy. He will give an illuminating talk about the hunt for exoplanets and the quest for another Earth. Since 1995, more than 3,000 exoplanets have been discovered. Many of these planets look nothing like the planets of our Solar System — strange orbits, unusual compositions, and unknown beginnings. Dr. Howard will tour this diverse landscape and present the latest exoplanet discoveries.
