I am taking the Subway down to UofT and don't think can carry anything heavy.
What are other options ?

FYI, so far we have about 80 registrants for
this event; I am sure it would be a great event.

Dear Dr. Bahram
ZahirAzami,
We would like to
cordially invite you to this exceptional talk at the
University of Toronto.

Stars and planets formation and possibility of
life in solar system and exosolar planets
by Dr. Mohaddesseh Azimlu
Location: University of TorontoThursday
May 29th, 2014
Abstract:
Did
you know that many elements in your body have been
created
in stars? Stars continually born from gaseous dusty
clouds
and die and recycle back into interstellar medium in our
own
galaxy, the Milky Way, and other galaxies. Giant
hydrogen
clouds collapse into disks rotating around proto-stars.
Planetary systems similar to our own solar system form
within these proto-planetary disks. In the case of our
solar
system, there was just enough material left over at the
right temperature to form rocky planets like the Earth,
Mars
and Venus within 250 million kilometers of the Sun.
Farther
out, where temperatures were cooler and more material was
available, gas giants formed.
Among the countless stars
visible in the night sky, how many are surrounded by
solar
systems like our own? Scientists believe the number of
other
worlds may depend on the mechanism by which stars and
planets are born. An estimation, supported by the very
recent observations of Kepler space observatory suggests
that planets like our own and within habitable zone may
be
common throughout our Galaxy.

University in London, Ontario and later joined
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in 2011. Dr.
Azimlu employs world-class telescopes around the world
for
her research and has been awarded more than 200 hours of
observing time at several telescopes around the world
from
Hawaii to Canary Islands.
In addition Dr.
Azimlu has extensively contributed into education and
public
outreach. In Iran she worked as a writer and editor for
Nojum (astronomy) magazine and appeared in several TV and
radio programs. In Canada she served as the coordinator
