Jeff Zhou, a rising senior at , recently wrote an essay about his experiences with the Unistellar and SETI Institute science team at .
Zhou was inspired to do his senior project exoplanets and their potential habitability after a presentation given at school by SETI Institute Planetary Astronomer Dr. Franck Marchis. Zhou says, 鈥淭he presentation sparked my curiosity about the big question: are we alone in the universe? I wanted to learn how scientists search for answers to big questions about the universe.鈥�
Since the presentation Zhou has made observations with the Unistellar eVscope, a digital smart telescope; participated in a Galaxy Explorers meeting at the Chabot Space and Science Center; and met with scientists at the SETI Institute office in San Francisco.
