angladaDr. Anglada will discuss the new paper he is first author in reporting the presence of a 1.3 Earth mass exoplanet in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri. This finding was reported in Nature on Thursday 25 Aug 2016.

Located at the Galileo Room, Microsoft Silicon Valley, La Avenida, Mountain View California (View map)

It IS necessary to have a visitors badge (name badge) in order to gain access to the
auditorium, which is inside a Microsoft office building.

It is NOT necessary to register in advance, however the benefit of pre-registration
is that a printed badge will be available for pick-up in the lobby, and can then be
used again for all future talks.

Special thanks to our 2016 Presenting Sponsor Leonard Tramiel
