Description:
The first exoplanet, a planet outside the Solar System, was discovered almost 30 years ago. Today, astronomers count over 5,000, and keep finding alien worlds on an increasing pace. The detection of a second Earth will become reality by 2030. Earth analogs, particularly those older than our home planet, are a window into our own future. They will allow us, for the first time, to empirically assess the likelihood of civilization-ending catastrophic events, both natural and anthropogenic. In this talk, Ekaterina shows how to safeguard Earth by looking to the stars, and how you can use your career to do so.
