An update on the Project Blue simulator being developed by University of Arizona astronomer Dr. Males and his student, Alex Rodack, whose goal is to predict the behavior of the telescope system and data quality over the two-year time period that the Project Blue will be in space observing Alpha Centauri.

Dr. Morse visits Dr. Chakrabarti and Dr. Mendillo at UMass Lowell to get an update on "Picture C, " a balloon coronagraph payload that will look for Jupiter-like planets around Epsilon Eridani.

BoldlyGo CEO Jon Morse visits University of Massachusetts Lowell to discuss the PICTURE mission program and state-of-the-art technology being developed to image exoplanets in neighboring star systems.

In this episode of SpaceBites, Dr. Supriya Chakrabarti and his team at UMass Lowell discuss the evolution of PICTURE, and how it is staged to support Project Blue in the discovery and imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets around Alpha Centauri.

SpaceBites talks with Dr. Jim Kasting, an Evan Pugh Professor of Geosciences at Penn State University, about what we can learn about our Solar System by studying the structure of other solar systems and their exoplanets.

In this episode of SpaceBites, BoldlyGo CEO Jon Morse, SETI Institute CEO Bill Diamond, and Project Blue mission scientists discuss the importance of democratizing science to stimulate public curiosity and interest in space exploration.

On this episode of SpaceBites, Snack-Sized Space Science, Dr. Debra Fischer and PhD student Lily Zhao discuss how their data analysis of the nearby Alpha Centauri system suggests the likelihood Earthlike planets in the habitable zones of Alpha Cen A and Alpha Cen B.

On this episode of SpaceBites, Snack-Sized Space Science, Dr. Debra Fischer from Yale University talks about exoplanet detection and the exciting advances in technology helping us find more planets in the cosmos.

Today, a new “pale blue dot” project has emerged and is gaining attention for its audacity and potential contribution to our perspective on life in the universe. “Project Blue: Join the Search for Another Earth” is dedicated not only to finding other “pale blue dots” but also to photographing them directly.

How do we find life on other planets? A conversation with Project Blue team member Dr. Colin Goldblatt, an Earth scientist from the University of Victoria, to learn more about how to characterize a planet’s habitability.
