SUMMARY:The exoplanet revolution and life in the Universe - Prof. Didier Q
 ueloz FRS (Cavendish Laboratory\, University of Cambridge)
DTSTART:20260310T190000Z

UID:TALK243028@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Ruize Li
DESCRIPTION:The diversity and prolific number of planets discovered have r
 evolutionised our conception of the nature and history of planet formation
 . They have opened up the idea of the possible rarity of planetary systems
  similar to our own\, but also exciting prospects for the potential to pro
 be the atmospheres of planets in search of traces of life. We are living i
 n a historic moment that brings us closer to exploring life in the univers
 e and understanding the origins of life on Earth.\n\nThe talk will present
  an outlook of this landscape and will discuss the implications of these r
 ecent findings. New insights about the origins of life will be presented i
 n the light of recent experiments about a possible origin of pre-biotic ch
 emical building blocks as well as a possible long-range pathway for detect
 ing Earth- like systems amenable for remote study of life.
