2020/07/26 – Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe – Have Comets Seeded Life Across the Solar System, including … Mars?

Welcome to our second installment of “Perseverance Weekend” ….

Tonight, we’re going to discuss — and show some spectacular images — of the sublime celestial object that has graced our northern skies for weeks–

Comet NEOWISE.

The other night, for the first time, I was finally able to view this “once-in-a-generation” spectacle from my own patio … here in the Land of Enhanctment — both with my naked eyes … and even more dramatic … with 7X50 binoculars — before the highly unusual “early monsoon clouds and rain” that have persisted over the American Southwest for more than a month now … closed in once more … for another rain-soaked dreary week “in a desert” ….

My guest — world-famous astrobiologist, Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe — is going to describe tonight why comets in general, and THIS comet in particular, are vital to understanding what could happen in a few short months — when three new Missions to “search for Life on Mars” finally arrive early next year at the Red Planet.

Have comets, in fact, literally “seeded” the Martian landscape — and all other “habitable niches in the solar system” — with life forms that are TOTALLY recognizable as “Earth-like” … because … life on Earth ultimately came from the same INTERPLANETARY … nay, even INTERSTELLAR … source?!

Join us ….
