X-WR-CALDESC:On Wednesday\, May 25th\, 2022 at 7 pm (Pacific time)\, Dr. Sa
 ndra Faber (University of California\, Santa Cruz) will give a free\, illu
 strated\, non-technical lecture entitled:  \n\n“Do Humans Have What It Tak
 es to Thrive in This Universe?' \n\n The talk is part of the Silicon Valle
 y Astronomy Lecture Series (through Foothill College)\, now in its 22nd ye
 ar. \n\n Modern astronomy is revealing the story of our cosmic origins -- 
 where the Galaxy came from\, how the Sun and Earth were formed\, and how t
 he elements in our bodies were forged in stars and later gathered to form 
 “us”. We are now poised to use that knowledge to predict Earth’s cosmic fu
 ture\, and it looks bright ahead – one billion years (more or less) of a f
 uture livable planet. However\, one question then glows in stark relief: d
 oes our human species – honed by natural selection – have the makings to t
 hrive on a cosmic time scale? In this lecture\, Prof. Faber will share her
  perspective as a cosmologist\, and sketch her vision for what we humans n
 eed to do to seize this incredible opportunity. \n\nAbout Dr. Sandra Faber
 \n\nWinner of the National Medal of Science\, Sandra Faber is Professor Em
 erita of Astronomy & Astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz. She helped to discover
  dark matter in the Universe and co-invented the modern scenario for galax
 y formation based on it. She led the team that discovered how common black
  holes are at the centers of galaxies and the one that diagnosed the optic
 al flaw on the Hubble Space Telescope. Her awards include the Gruber Prize
  in Cosmology and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.  Recen
 tly\, she founded the Earth Futures Institute at UCSC to inspire human bei
 ngs to embrace the task of long-term planet planning. \n------------------
