RASC, Mississauga Centre: Speaker Night - Astrobiology - How strange life might be? (ONLINE)
Speaker: Dr. Chris Impey, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona
Life on Earth is found in surprising places: in high and arid deserts, on the sea floor near volcanic vents, and even deep within rock. The discovery of biological adaptation to extreme conditions makes it very likely that variations on biology will exist on moons and planets around many of the billions of Sun-like stars in the Milky Way. This talk addresses the issue of even more unusual forms of life, where the biological basis may be different or unrecognizable.
