Description

 

The diversity and prolific number of planets discovered have revolutionised our conception of the nature planet in the Universe. They have opened up the idea of the possible rarity of planetary systems similar to our own, but also exciting prospects for the potential to probe the atmospheres of planets in search of traces of life. We are living in a historic moment that brings us closer to exploring life in the universe and understanding the origins of life on Earth. The talk will present an overview of current challenges and pathway for detecting Earth-like systems and the idea of prevalence of life in the Universe.
