Exoplanets Galore: The Status of the Search for Other Earths

Dr. Alex Filippenko, Distinguished Professor of Astronomy at UC Berkeley, will share the latest discoveries in the field of extra-solar planets:  how we are looking, what has been found so far, and the prospects of discovering Earth-like Exoplanets. There will be time for Q&A, and a Complimentary Raffle (everyone receives one free ticket).  The evening concludes under the stars, as we look through Chabot's large telescopes and additional smaller scopes. Coffee and dessert will be served.
