NOVA Universe Revealed

An exclusive preview screening of the widely acclaimed science documentary series "NOVA Universe Revealed".

The wobble method. The transit method. These may sound like strategies for getting home after from the bar, but they're actually two different ways that powerful telescopes detect planets hundreds and thousands of light-years away. These exoplanets, and the mysteries about their movements and atmospheres, help us to better understand the universe and answer one of the most burning questions on earth: Are we alone in the universe?

Join us for a special preview screening of the "Alien Worlds" episode of "NOVA Universe Revealed". Take a journey through our galaxy and beyond to learn about how we discover planets previously unknown, whether any of them might hold the keys to life.

Stay after the screening for a Q&A with local EXOPLANET experts Gibor Basri and Courtney Dressing.
