We’re nearing a tally of 6,000 extrasolar planet discoveries. But have we found Earth 2.0 yet? In this talk, we’ll explore 30 years of planet discoveries, detection methods, and how we’ve only scratched the surface of planet demographics in our galaxy. Discover what’s next in the hunt for Earth 2.0.

Dr. Niall Whiteford completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh before joining the BDNYC (Brown Dwarfs New York City) group at AMNH. His research focuses on the new JWST data of exoplanets, examining their chemistry, clouds, and formation processes. He’s also passionate about detecting life beyond our solar system and engaging in public outreach.
