Strange New Worlds: Steamy Planets, Crystal Clouds, and the Seeds of Life

Dr. Sarah Moran
Postdoctoral Research Associate, Lunar and Planetary Laboratory
Since the first discovery of extrasolar planets in the 1990s, we have learned that the eight worlds of our solar system are just a few drops in a vast ocean of thousands of planets. Dr. Moran will discuss some of the strangest worlds out in the galaxy, and the bizarre materials that make up their atmospheres. With over a year of James Webb Space Telescope observations, we now know more than ever before about what makes these planets tick.
