Breakthrough Discuss Conference

As a participant in the Breakthrough Initiatives Dario will be in attendance at this conference.

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Earth has discovered a neighbor.

In August 2016, the exoplanet Proxima b was discovered on our cosmic doorstep. It orbits Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun, approximately 4.2 light-years away (25 trillion miles). This was a thrilling discovery: the closest known exoplanet to the Solar System also happens to lie within the habitable zone of its star; and just four months after its launch, Breakthrough Starshot had its first target.

Then, in February 2017, seven exoplanets were identified orbiting a dwarf star named Trappist-1, about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) from Earth. In cosmic terms, these planets too are just down the street. As evolving observation and propulsion technologies promise to extend our vision and physical presence to interstellar destinations, these potentially habitable or life-bearing worlds are transforming the space of possibilities for life in our galactic neighborhood: possibilities for extraterrestrial life, and for the future of humanity.

The discoveries of Proxima b and the seven worlds of the Trappist-1 system will be the overarching theme for this year’s Breakthrough Discuss.
