Event Information:

Where did we come from? Are we alone? Incredibly, the answers to these questions could soon be within the reach of scientific pursuits for the first time in human history. Depending on what's out there—and on our will to find it—we might be standing on the precipice of a golden age of astrobiology. But to truly appreciate our place in the Universe, we must integrate fields that have historically stood apart—physics and biology, geology and astronomy—into a planetary perspective of life.
