Just like the USS Enterprise, NASA in Silicon Valley is discovering and exploring new worlds, and seeking out life forms that may have existed there – and may even still, today. Star Trek was set hundreds of years in the future, but this work is happening here and now, at NASA’s Ames Research Center. Come learn about not just what we’re looking for, but how we aim to find it. NASA experts will talk about hunting for signs of life, or the potential for life, using planetary science, astrobiology, and feats of spacecraft engineering that let these missions fly. From Curiosity to Cassini and Kepler, studying Mars, the ocean worlds of Enceladus and Europa, Pluto, and the exoplanets, we’re busy searching for life in our solar system and beyond.
