SUMMARY:Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series: Pictures of Distant Worlds
DESCRIPTION:At Smithwick Theater of Foothill College\, 19:00 PDT\, Bruce Macintosh (Director of the University of California Observatories) will give a free\, illustrated\, non-technical lecture. No admission charge; the college is a 12345 El Monte Road. \nIn the past three decades\, more than 6000 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars beyond our own solar system. However\, we still don’t know if our solar system is rare or unique—the powerful techniques that detect extrasolar planets have discovered systems very different from our own. In recent years\, advances in technology have allowed a handful of giant planets around other stars to be imaged directly. Find out about the first-ever images of other solar systems—and the technology that has allowed us to discover them\, such as the Gemini Planet Imager—as well as the future planet-hunting space telescopes. The ultimate goal is detection of a second ‘pale blue dot’—an Earth twin where we could even see the biosignatures of extrasolar life. \nBruce Macintosh is the Director of the University of California Observatories in California and Hawaii. His research focuses on the study of extrasolar planets\, in particular the study of such planets through direct imaging. Direct imaging of extrasolar planets involves blocking\, suppressing\, and subtracting the light of the bright parent star so that a planet hundreds of thousands of times fainter can be seen and studied in detail. Dr. Macintosh co-led the team that imaged the first extrasolar planets\, and was the principal investigator of the Gemini Planet Imager\, an advanced adaptive optics planet-finder for the Gemini South telescope. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Search for Life on Saturn’s Intriguing Moon Enceladus
DESCRIPTION:Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series\, Celebrating its 26th anniversary\, Presents Dr. Alfonso Davila (NASA Ames Research Center) for a free\, illustrated\, non-technical lecture entitled:\nThe Search for Life on Saturn’s\, Intriguing Moon Enceladus \nLocation: Smithwick Theater\, Foothill College\, Los Altos\nFree Admission \nIn 2005\, the Cassini spacecraft made a groundbreaking discovery—it found a massive plume of ice and gas erupting from the south pole of Enceladus\, a small but geologically active moon of Saturn. The plume is now believed to originate from a subsurface ocean of liquid water beneath the moon’s icy crust\, with conditions compatible with life\, as we know it. This talk will focus on our current understanding of Enceladus’ plume and subsurface ocean\, and on strategies to search in them for possible evidence of life.
