SUMMARY:General Meeting – July 2026
DESCRIPTION: Join Zoom\n\nFree and open to the public.\nThis meeting will be online only\, please do NOT go inperson.\n  \nSearching for Signs of Life\n  \non Jupiter’s Ocean-Bearing Moons\n  \n \nUsing NASA’s Europa Clipper mission as our guide\, we’ll journey to Jupiter’s icy moons – worlds that may contain vast oceans beneath their frozen crusts. We will examine the evidence to support the possibility of finding life at this seemingly-unlikely locale in our Solar System. We will also discuss the motivation for the search for life beyond Earth\, and the impact of the search on humanity. \n \nRobin Metcalfe is an associate professor at York University in Toronto\, where she has been teaching physics and astronomy for over 25 years. She is also the Director of York’s Division of Natural Science\, which offers courses spanning a broad range of scientific fields and designed for diverse audiences from any academic discipline for the purpose of engaging students in topical scientific issues and instilling an appreciation for scientific exploration. Robin is also active in public outreach\, giving Astronomy-themed talks to a variety of audiences\, including astronomy clubs and other interest groups. Through her teaching and outreach\, Robin shares her passion for the night sky and the outdoors. She teaches students to appreciate what the night sky has to teach us\, to gain perspective from our place in the Universe\, and to value our precious planet Earth. \nViews: 0
