The SPARQ Center at PHS thanks SRJC Astronomy & Physics Instruction, Laura Sparks for her presentation at the January 15th STEM Cafe. Ms. Sparks recently created a new class at SRJC called Life in the Universe. She shared the most interesting things she learned while preparing the class, including new missions to explore the solar system, weird life on frozen moons, and the search for habitable earth-like planets throughout the galaxy.
