About this Event

From Mercury to Neptune, our solar system hosts a range of interesting and diverse planets. But our own solar system is just one of many planetary systems in outer space. Thousands of solar systems beyond our own have been discovered in the past two decades. These exoplanetary systems are even more diverse and exotic than astronomers could have imagined!

Join Astrophysicist Munazza Alam to hear exciting details about newly discovered planetary systems in the universe, learn how they compare to our own solar system, and discover what these far away worlds tell us about the origins of planets.
