Speaker Night – Ryan Cloutier
DV2082 William Davis Building UTM 3359 Mississauga Rd, Mississauga, Ontario, CanadaAlthough we are likely still decades away from discovering signs of life on worlds outside of our own solar system, much progress is being made today to identify the best potential candidates for hosting such life. In this talk, I will discuss much of what we currently know about these so-called exoplanets and how we know it. I will then highlight the steps that will be taken in the not-so-distant future to characterize the conditions on potentially habitable exoplanets using extreme telescopes. All of this in hopes that one day these efforts will culminate with the probable detection of life like our own elsewhere in the galaxy.

Speaker Event – Astrosleuthing an Aurora: Robin Metcalfe
DV2072 William Davis Building UTMIn this talk, I will explain the science behind the production of an aurora - from its origins at the Sun's surface to the light show in Earth's atmosphere - and in the process we will see how the evidence left behind by an aurora can be used to sleuth out its connection to ancient records.
