Chris Chyba, Professor of astrophysical sciences and international affairs at Princeton University, will deliver the lecture "The Possibility of Life Elsewhere in the Universe," Wednesday, February 20 at 7:30PM in room 2.224 of Welch Hall (map). The talk is free and open to the public. Like his mentor, Carl Sagan, Dr. Chyba was long associated with the SETI Institute, which searches for intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe. Weather permitting, public viewing of the evening's total lunar eclipse will follow, on the 17th floor of RLM (map). Totality begins at 9:00PM.
