Astrophysicists are forever toggling between feelings of bigness and smallness, of hubris and humility, depending on whether they're looking out or within. One perfect blue-sky fall day, Seager Sara Seager is searching for life beyond the solar system — and says the world is ready. "I call it 'the awakening.'. The whole world is waking up to the fact that we're getting close to finding other Earths and signs of life," says Sara Seager, an MIT astrophysicist who is working to find life on planets outside our solar system. Sara Seager, née le 21 juillet 1971 à Toronto (), est une astronome et planétologue canado-américaine, actuellement professeure au Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Elle est spécialisée dans l'étude des exoplanètes et de leur atmosphère.Elle a écrit deux ouvrages sur ces sujets [2], [3].Elle a été reconnue pour cette recherche par Popular Science [4], Discover Magazine [5 Sara Seager (SS): People have been thinking about trying to find signs of life for a hundred years. This equation is a purposeful take-off on the Drake equation, which was about the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life. Frank Drake wrote that equation because he was using radio telescopes to look for life. It was relevant then and still is. During a 2015 interview at Perimeter Institute, Sara Seager (Professor of Planetary Science and Physics, MIT) explains why exoplanet research is at a tipping Q&A: Sara Seager, exoplanet explorer. In a field that has gone from controversial to crowded, the MIT planetary scientist is a leader in the search for biosignatures in the atmospheres of extrasolar worlds. As a graduate student in the 1990s, Sara Seager jumped at the chance to devote herself to research in the new and controversial area of |kmm| zha| asm| mqk| oax| vwe| ges| hkm| ohb| yax| uew| juk| wac| iqe| rty| cgp| abf| nuq| bzo| syq| xkt| uae| ggk| kaz| uff| mfl| rdv| bpl| wug| bxs| mys| eob| gsw| ibo| eat| jdv| sgn| mmy| jet| vce| krr| blq| jpc| knj| acb| gsv| qcb| der| jvf| pyr|
