The Search for Extra Terrestrial Life

Event Information

The search for life elsewhere in space is one of the great unfinished works of the Enlightenment. Recent discoveries now make it highly likely that the search will be successful within a few decades.

This introduction to the field looks at the techniques used in the quest, and the places we are expecting to find extraterrestrial life.  Mike Shaw teaches biology and astronomy to the students of Bootham School in York.

Doors open 7.15pm.  Tickets are free and can be pre-booked by phone or on-line with  City  Screen  (0871 902 5726)

Alternatively tickets are available on the night of the event at the City Screen Ticket Desk – limited to 70 for each event.
