In this episode of SETI Live, Jeremy Webb joins Moiya McTier to discuss Life is But a Stream: The Distribution of Planetary Systems Along Stellar Streams and their Properties.
Stellar streams are elongated structures of stars moving through the Milky Way, often formed by tidal interactions and the galaxy’s gravitational forces. Jeremy Webb’s research explores how planetary systems are distributed along these streams and what their properties can reveal about the formation and evolution of planets within dynamic galactic environments.
Together, they’ll dive into how astronomers trace stellar streams, how planetary systems survive and evolve within them, and what this research tells us about the broader history of our galaxy.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
