The subject of this week’s discussion is all about exoplanets and the search for extraterrestrial life, what they are (exoplanets and life), and what techniques are being used to find and confirm their existence. Here are some hints and rules of the game. Space Weather (https://spaceweather.com/) provides a good source of information and NASA news, New York Times Science, or any press release from science agencies such as AAS, NASA, or Universities. And don’t forget Ask an Astronomer (http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/). What you must post:
-1 -There are two broad techniques used to identify exoplanets. Write a paragraph explaining how each technique uniquely identifies an exoplanet. – Due on April 31
2 – The James Webb Space Telescope launched last December will look for fingerprints of life in a few exoplanets. Use a paragraph to summarize how the James Webb Space Telescope will attempt to identify life in exoplanets. Provide links to the sources. – Due on April 31
