NASA needs your help to search for Habitable Worlds

·

I had written an article about magic to go out this week however when Jeno told me about this online course from NASA and The Arizona State University I quickly swapped the publishing calendar as it’s too good to miss.

What is The Habitable Worlds Project?

 It’s an online course run by the Arizona State University in conjunction with the NASA Astrobiology department. The main question this course asks is “Are We Alone?”

“Prof. Ariel Anbar and Dr. Lev Horodyskyj teach how the sciences converge in the search for life on other worlds. Join us online to study stars, planets, Earth, life, intelligence, technological civilizations and the challenges facing our own inhabited world.” – Habworlds.org

It’s due to launch soon (though there is no actual date on the site that I can find) and you can register for free by visiting their website here.

A Video From Habitable Worlds

Here’s the introduction video from Habitable Worlds to tell you more about the course.

 Will you be joining the Habitable Worlds Project?

    Hi Nate,

    There’s also another astrobio course I would like to mention.

    I wrote about it in one of my previous posts (http://jenomarz.com/write-what-you-know-learn-to-know-more-to-write/). It’s called Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life. It started today, but everyone who is interested still can sign up. It’s free. https://www.coursera.org/course/astrobio

    And, of course, Stanford’s lectures on the subj.

    Cheers, Jeno
