DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second聽astrophysics public lecture of the year\
 , given by physics graduate student Tim Hallatt. The whole family is welco
 me to learn about the fascinating world of exoplanets and interstellar obj
 ets!\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn the past two decades\, thousands of planets have b
 een discovered orbiting stars other than our Sun (termed 'exoplanets'). We
  now know that our solar system is likely one of billions of planetary sys
 tems in our Milky Way galaxy. With this 'exoplanet revolution'\, a new fie
 ld of astrophysics has emerged - the study of exoplanet demographics. In t
 his talk I will explore recent advances in this exciting new field\, both 
 from an observational point of view (how are exoplanets discovered\, and h
 ow are their masses\, radii\, and orbital distances distributed?)\, as wel
 l as a theoretical point of view (what fundamental physics sculpts exoplan
 et populations?). In the second part of my talk\, I will discuss a related
  emerging field of astrophysics\, the study of interstellar objects. These
  comets and asteroids travel freely through our Milky Way galaxy\, and occ
 asionally pass through our own cosmic backyard. By studying them up close 
 as they pass through our solar system\, we may be able to learn about the 
 planetary systems they originate from in exquisite detail. Hundreds more o
 f these interstellar bodies will likely be discovered in the next decade\,
  and may jumpstart a new revolution in the study of planetary objects.\n\n
 The event will be broadcast on the Astro黑料不打烊\, Physics Matters and McGil
 l Space Institute pages via Facebook Live.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/Ast
