Exciting new mission concepts based on the theory of the solar gravitational lens are being considered using unique technologies to conduct unprecedented science reaching far into the universe. These missions would use the Sun as a gravitational lens to resolve an exoplanet surface and search for signs of life using innovative spacecraft and benefits of autonomous systems. <br /><br />In this event, Slava Turyshev, research scientist at NASA JPL, and Louis Friedman, Co-Founder and Executive Director Emeritus at The Planetary Society, will lead a discussion on exoplanets and how they are viewed through a solar gravity lens. They will be joined by your moderator Tony Darnell, Deep Astronomy.<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCm-oeyKTo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuCm-oeyKTo</a>
