SUMMARY:Planets\, Patterns\, and the Origin of Life\, Astronomy Colloq
 uium\, Lauren Weiss\, University of Hawaii at Monoa
DESCRIPTION:Exoplanet science is an explosive new field catalyzed by t
 he discovery of over 4000 extrasolar planets via the NASA Kepler and M
 IT-led TESS missions.  The field will continue to evolve rapidly over 
 the next several decades as we push observational techniques toward th
 e discovery of Earth-like planets.  Along the way\, we are learning ab
 out diverse types of planets\, their interior and atmospheric composit
 ions\, their orbital properties\, the systems in which they reside\, a
 nd how the planets form and change over time.  Recent discoveries of p
 atterns have reshaped our understanding of planet formation\, with pos
 sible implications for the origins of Earth-like planets and life.  I 
 will discuss my past\, present\, and future experiments with observati
 onal astronomy to address these topics.<br>
