Our understanding of our own solar system has changed significantly since the advent of spacecraft exploration. Water was once believed very scarce in our corner of the galaxy but we now realize this is not the case. From understanding where our own planet’s water riches originated to the proliferation of the so called water worlds, this presentation will discuss the evolution of this “sea change” in thinking and its implication for the search for life on exoplanets.

Rick Foster, Claudio Oriani and Blake Nancarrow will join Andrew Reid and Ward LeGrow with live views of Saturn and Jupiter conjunction on Dec 18, 2020.

The Origins Institute in partnership with the McMaster Alumni Association invite you to an online public lecture with Dr. Natalie Hinkel.

Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard! We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.
