ET's Hood

Abstract

Because the 2012 Astrobiology Science Conference is in Atlanta, Midtown looks like the set of the 2008 remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Some of its attendees, Michael New of NASA, Rory Barnes of the University of Washington, and Kate Follette of the University of Arizona will join us to talk about the exploration of planets outside our solar system and what might make them habitable for ET or other forms of life. We will be joined in studio, via teleconference, by a H.S. class from Camden County, GA.
