Talk by Dr.GOUTHAM CHATTOPADYAY

Dr Goutam Chattopadhyay, Senior Research scientist at NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory and a proud alumni of the California Institute of Technology gave us an insight into the vast arena of research and experimentation, hypothesis and assumptions involved with space exploration.

Trillions of stars, billions of galaxies and every planet within, all of this around us, and yet the idea that Earth solely supports life is inconceivable.The ambient temperature (due to the Earth’s optimum distance from the sun), supporting atmosphere, running water, suitable terrains torn apart and woven together by the continental drifts, evolution cycles and most importantly the magnetic field of the Earth sets a major criteria for the availability and sustenance of life on planet Earth .

Owing to technical difficulties and the separation in light years, expanding the search to other galaxies is a far cry at present but again the Milky Way galaxy isn't studied enough either. Neglecting the fact that the planet mercury is closest to the sun or uranus is farthest away..Venus and Mars seems most habitable. But Venus is hotter than expected hence the research is mainly focused on Mars. Going back through the various space expeditions to Mars - "Curiosity" was the first vehicle to land on Mars in its the search for life had embarked a better turn. The search for water or any organic matter lead us to Titan (Jupiter's moon) and its suboceanic existence and other such revelations given the attempt a major hope factor. Then again, there is a possibility of extraterrestrial life existing in some unrecognisable form.

Hence the search continues.
