April 11 at 2pm – The Rise and Fall of the Extraterrestrial Stock Market
Featuring guest speaker RIT Professor Michael Richmond
Before the telescope was invented, astronomers often imagined sentient beings populating the Moon and the Sun. When telescopes enabled scientists to begin determining the physical properties of other planets, and the probability of finding life on other worlds slowly decreased. But in recent years, as we have found planets circling other stars, our optimism for extraterrestrial life is rising again.
