 http://www.youtube.com/SVAstronomyLectures   \nThe talk is part of the 
 Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, now in its 23rd year. \n \nFor 
 centuries we have known that Earth is only one of multiple worlds orbiting 
 the Sun. Near the turn of the 21st century we discovered that our solar 
 system is but one of countless others. Where did these planets come from? 
 What are their fates, and ours? Dr. Chiang will describe the life cycle of 
 planets, how they are born and die and are born again. The story follows 
 microscopic grains of dust, from the dark and icy clouds of the Milky Way, 
 to the fiery winds from planets burning in the glare of their stars. 
 \n\nEugene Chiang is a Professor of Astronomy and of Earth and Planetary 
 Science at UC Berkeley. He is a theoretical astrophysicist with interests 
 in all things planetary, from planet formation to orbital dynamics to 
 planetary atmospheres. He has served as Chair of the Berkeley Department of 
 Astronomy, is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and 
 Sciences, and is the recipient of the Berkeley Distinguished Teaching 
 Award, the highest award for teaching on the UC campus. \n\nFoothill 
 College is just off the El Monte Road exit from Freeway 280 in Los Altos.
