National Geographic Live: The Search for Life Beyond Earth at Discovery Place Science

• When: Tuesday, October 29, 2019,  6:00 pm -  9:00 pm
  
• Location: Discovery Place Science 301 N. Tryon St., Charlotte, North Carolina 28202

Astrobiologist and National Geographic Emerging Explorer Kevin Hand searches for life beyond Earth.

He is currently helping plan a NASA mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate evidence of a vast subsurface ocean which could sustain primitive forms of life on this alien world nearly 600 million miles from our planet.

To gain perspective on the conditions these instruments will have to endure and to see how microbes eke out a living in our world’s harshest climes, Hand has traveled to the most forbidding environments on Earth.

Guests are invited to join Kevin Hand for a reception at Discovery Place Science, where we will explore the universe.
