Earth is not the only planet vulnerable to climate change. Other potentially habitable planets in the exoplanet systems can encounter such change, too, even if not led by human causes as on Earth. Meredith Vogel is a senior in the department of physics, astronomy and materials science at Missouri State University. She studies how planets’ positioning in orbit affects … [Read more...] about Finding patterns among planets, shaping knowledge of life beyond Earth
