Description

EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE
We are not alone, believes Avi Loeb, chair of Harvard’s
Department of Astronomy, founding director of
Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative, director of the Institute
for Theory and Computation within the Harvard-
Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and author. Loeb
and his team have set up a telescope on the roof of
the Harvard College Observatory to look for evidence
of extraterrestrial life. They are looking for strange
objects, such as the one sighted in 2017 by scientists at
a Hawaiian observatory that was moving so quickly that
Loeb claims it could only have come from another star.
Join Loeb on March 14 for fascinating discussion about
his search for extraterrestrial life, the importance of
curiosity and other mysteries of our universe.
