The more than 200 planets discovered around other stars so far are all Jupiter-like planets, big and most likely made of gases and liquids. Astronomers are eager to refine their search to identify smaller solid planets, resembling our own Earth.

Dr. Voss, who is the science director for the project, will describe the design and expected results from the four-year mission.
Dr. Voss has advanced degrees in electrical engineering and aeronautics/astronautics, and has done research in space physics. She became an astronaut in 1991, and has been a mission specialist on five space flights. She has logged more than 49 days in space, traveling 18.8 million miles in 779 Earth orbits.
As part of the evening, she will also discuss her experiences as a scientist in space and her perspective on the space program. She will take questions from the audience at the end of the talk.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program, NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute and Astronomical Society of the Pacific. For more information, call (650) 949-7888.
