SUMMARY:Life in the Cosmic Trenches: The Search for Signs of Life Beyo
 nd Earth\, WiCOR Speaker Event\, Sara Seager\, Massachusetts Institute
  of Technology
DESCRIPTION:For thousands of years\, inspired by the star-filled dark 
 night sky\, people have wondered what lies beyond Earth. Today\, the s
 earch for signs of life is a key factor in modern-day planetary explor
 ation. Astronomers have found thousands of planets that orbit nearby s
 tars\, called "exoplanets". The newly launched James Webb Space telesc
 ope will enable us to study gases in rocky exoplanet atmospheres\, inc
 luding gasses that might be attributed to life.<br>
