Emera Astronomy Center Out There: The Quest for Extrasolar

Worlds

For thousands of years, mankind thought that

the Earth was the center of the Universe.

Thanks to our curiosity, imagination and

urge to explore, we now know that planets

like our Earth are nothing special in the cos-

mos. The Sun is just one ordinary star among

hundreds of billions in our galaxy, the Milky

Way. With the world’s most powerful tele-

scopes, we are able to explore more and

more of the Universe. What we have found

so far has surpassed even the wildest expec-

tations of scientists as well as authors of sci-

ence fiction. Most stars have planets — it

turns out they are more common than we

thought. A huge diversity of different worlds

is out there, just waiting to be discovered.

Join as we explore these new worlds! Cost is

$5.00.

Please sign up at the front desk.
