"In September a couple of years ago, there was news that UFO's were spotted around Mexico? Was this true and have there been any observations of UFO's?"

Seminar Detail
High Resolution Imaging of Young Planets
Presenter: Ben Zuckerman ()
June 27, 2005 11:00 AM Pacific
Current, state of the art, imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope and
with adaptive optics on large ground-based telescopes is insufficiently
sensitive to detect starlight reflected from old cold extrasolar planets.
However, massive planets with ages less than 100 million years are
sufficiently self-luminous to be within our grasp now. This talk will
focus on the first successful infrared imaging detections of extrasolar
planets and on what can be learned now and in the near future from direct
imaging of such planets.Participation Instructions

The Director’s Seminar series features talks from scientists who are invited by the NAI Director to present their research results to the community. A primary goal of the seminars is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across NAI teams and within the astrobiology community at large.
Team Overview Seminars describe the work of the fourteen NAI teams and NAI Central. They offer an opportunity to find out more about the science, E/PO and other activities being performed by the NAI teams and the NAI Central office.
The Forum for Astrobiology Research (FAR) provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research results and to meet as a student community for networking and mutual support.
The University of Washington seminar series is hosted by the NAI Virtual Planetary Lab (VPL) team from the UW campus in Seattle.
