Speaker Presentation @ 8:00pm:
Under the Sea: An Update on Space-Based Exploration of Jupiter’s Ocean-Bearing Moons.
In this talk, I will provide an overview of NASA’s Clipper and ESA’s JUICE missions to the Jovian system and discuss the motivation for the search for life in these seemingly-unlikely locations.
Bio: Robin Metcalfe is a professor in the Division of Natural Science at York University, where she has been teaching astronomy for over 25 years. Robin’s PhD research pertained to extragalactic astronomy but her current interests are in the search for life beyond Earth and the implications of such a discovery on humanity. Through her teaching, Robin shares her passion for the night sky and the outdoors. She teaches students to appreciate what the night sky has to teach us, to gain perspective from our place in the Universe, and to value our precious planet Earth.
