The Mysteries of the Cosmos

DISCOVER & the National Science Foundation present The Mysteries of the Cosmos

DISCOVER and the National Science Foundation will host their second “Great Questions in Science” event in January, celebrating the International Year of Astronomy 2009.

Leading experts—including planet-hunter Mike Brown of Caltech and dark-energy guru Saul Perlmutter of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory—will debate the most compelling issues in astronomy today: How do black holes affect the evolution of the universe? What lies beyond the edge of our solar system? Does life exist on other worlds? The event will be moderated by Discover’s legendary “Bad Astronomy” blogger, Phil Plait.
