Porterville College’s Cultural and Historical Awareness Program (CHAP) is excited to announce the upcoming presentation, “How the Search for Extraterrestrial Life Reveals Design in the Universe.” This out of this world event will be held on November 15th at 7pm in the Porterville College Theater.
Jon Satko, a professor of Physics and Astronomy at Porterville College, will delve into the fascinating world of astrobiology. With his extensive knowledge and passion for the cosmos, Satko will explore the latest advancements in the search for extraterrestrial life.
As scientists strive to identify potentially habitable planets, they uncover a universe meticulously designed for life. This presentation will showcase the intricate balance of factors that make Earth such a unique and hospitable environment and investigate why other planets may or may not be.
