Building upon the promising ideas sparked at the inaugural Pathways to Observing Particle Environments of Stars and Exoplanets workshop, the second workshop convenes four key working groups focused on: Quasi-steady particle fluxes, Transient events, Extrasolar planetary-space weather interactions, and Programmatics.
Join Dr. James L. Green as he discusses the origins and evolution of life in space and time. It is estimated that life started on Earth approximately 3.9 billion years ago. However, there are only a few locations on Earth, that old, that have remained undisturbed which would enable our study of the planetary conditions at a time that enabled life to take hold. Although we don't yet know how life got started here, early life forms would not be very complex. By studying the evolution of our own planet and Sun, it may give us some clues as to what to look for life at other locations in our own solar system and in the solar systems of other stars.
