Cosmic Coffee, Cup No. 22 | Building an Exo-Earth Hunter

Cosmic Coffee explores a different topic in astronomy or planetary science each week. This week, Lowell Observatory’s Technical Project Manager Dave Sawyer will address the question, “why search for other Earth-like worlds?” then delve into the Doppler technique used to find them and the challenges of detecting them. He will also focus on a next-generation instrument built exclusively to hunt for exo-Earths using Lowell Observatory’s 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope.

Cosmic Coffee is presented each Thursday at 9 am AZ/PT.
