exploration and discovery much expanded.<br />

Dr. Goldin initiated the Origins Program to study how our solar system formed, how<br />

life on Earth began and to explore whether it exists elsewhere in the universe. He<br />

challenged Origins planners to search for Earth-like planets within a hundred<br />

light-years <strong>of</strong> our own. He was also a vigorous proponent for increased exploration to<br />

determine if water and life may have ever existed elsewhere in our own solar system,<br />

including places such as Mars and Europa.<br />

In today‘s lecture Dr. Goldin introduced the mysterious universe to the students in a<br />

simple way. By using the precious photos took by Hubble Space Telescope and<br />

Spitzer Space Telescope, he explained the origins and some phenomena <strong>of</strong> stars,<br />

nebula and galaxies. After the lecture, Dr. Goldin answered some questions raised<br />

by the students.<br />

Dr. Goldin‘s visiting to China from September 13th to 17th was initiated by the<br />

Chinese Academy <strong>of</strong> Sciences. During staying here, he will deliver addresses to<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> and Tsinghua <strong>University</strong> respectively.<br />
