SUMMARY:General Meeting – February 2026
DESCRIPTION: Join Zoom\n\nFree and open to the public but per our host’s policy\, minors (under 18) are welcome to attend as long as they are accompanied by their parent or guardian at all times.\nThis meeting’s speaker will present inperson from the campus of the Chapman University.\n  \nPlanetary Habitability in the\n  \nSolar System and Beyond\n  \n \n  \nUnderstanding planetary habitability is one of the major challenges of the current scientific era. Though traditionally viewed through the lens of our home planet and its evolutionary history\, data from other Solar System objects\, and a plethora of planets outside of our Solar System\, are shedding new light on habitability research. This presentation will discuss the factors that contribute to planetary habitability\, and how these pieces fit together in an inter-disciplinary pathway that will benefit both the understanding of the evolution of Earth’s habitability and identifying possible abodes of life elsewhere throughout the universe. \n \nStephen Kane is a Professor of Planetary Astrophysics at the University of California\, Riverside. His work covers a broad range of topics and he has discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. He is a leading expert on the topic of planetary habitability\, the habitable zone of planetary systems\, and the study of why Venus and Earth underwent divergent evolutions. He has published hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers as well as several books on the topic of exoplanets and habitability.  He is also a prominent scientific leader for several NASA missions designed to search for life in the universe. \nViews: 4
