Description

This course is designed for a non-technical audience who wish to discuss and learn about the possibility of other worlds being discovered. What traits produce a planet that is favorable for habitation thus capable of supporting some form of unique life? This is not “science fiction” but based upon competent scientific research and investigations conducted by NASA and SETI. In 1993, the known number of planets in the Universe were the 9 located in our solar system. Today, with the use of the Kepler satellite orbiting Earth, many thousands of other planets are known–some of which may be habitable.
