Baldwin Wallace University Burrell Observatory Lecture Series

Dr. Steven Doty, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Denison University, will present a lecture titled "Aliens are Cool: But They Need a Place to Live." We know of over 6,000 planets around other stars (exoplanets), which begs the question: how many could support life? To answer that question, we need to know what conditions are necessary to support life. After the lecture, the observatory will be open for viewing, weather permitting. The event is free and open to the public; however, tickets are required, and donations are always appreciated.
