Arizona State University: The Edge of Exploration – Exoplanets

The School of Earth and Space Exploration invites those intrigued by Earth, our Solar System, and the Universe beyond to attend “The Edge of Exploration” series. Located in the Marston Theater in ISTB4, the 3D astronomy shows are led by SESE students and staff and explore topics such as: Time and Distance, The Solar System, and Galaxies. Featuring state-of-the-art planetarium technology that utilizes 4,000 projection systems to create 3D renderings of Earth and space-related visuals, the series gives enthusiasts the opportunity to immerse themselves in a lush 3D environment to learn about cutting-edge exploration.

Researchers are confirming new exoplanet systems every day.  How close are we to finding Earth-like planets in a solar system like our own?
