Soldiers Delight Star Party - December 20, 2025
Don't miss the next SD Star Party, where we will be discussing Exoplanets.
"The Search for Exoplanets"
Tonight we embark on an exciting journey beyond our solar system to explore the fascinating world of exoplanets and the quest for habitable zones. The search for exoplanets—planets orbiting stars outside our solar system—has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and our place within it. With advancements in technology and the dedication of astronomers worldwide, we have discovered thousands of these distant worlds, each with its own unique characteristics. Our discussion will delve into the methods used to detect these planets, the criteria that define a habitable zone, and the implications of finding potentially life-supporting environments beyond Earth. Join me as we unravel the mysteries of these distant realms and consider the profound question: Are we alone in the universe?
Whether you’re a stargazing novice or an astrophysics enthusiast, this lecture promises wonder, knowledge, and cosmic camaraderie."
All ages welcome.
All programs rain or shine. Time machines will be provided by the Westminster Astronomy Club.
Activity: Where Are the Distant Worlds? and "What is the "Habitable Zone"?
