Talk by The SETI Institute’s Beth Johnson
Tuesday, May 18
7-8 p.m.
Free on Facebook and YouTube
We’ve all traveled to Tatooine, and some of us to Vulcan or Pandora, but how do these sci-fi worlds compare to the real life exoplanets like Kepler 16b, or the seven planets of TRAPPIST 1? Join us on a journey to alien landscapes, real and imagined, and see if you can tell which are science fact, and which are science fiction.
