Mid-Kent Astronomical Society virtual meeting via Zoom

Howard Parkin – SETI – Looking for extraterrestrial life.

“It’s life Jim, but not as we know it” is a phrase well known to many of us. So what is the likelihood of finding extraterrestrial life, let alone intelligent life? In this presentation, Howard will talk about the SETI project, attempting to do just that.

Howard will use the Drake equation to illustrate current discoveries of over 4,000 ExSolar planets from the Kepler, TESS, WASP and other projects to ascertain the likelihood of life existing elsewhere in the Universe.
