Join the Intrepid Museum for its seventh annual Summer Movie Series. Enjoy FREE feature films on the flight deck, under the stars!

Introduced by Dr. Steve B. Howell, a project scientist at NASA Ames Research Center.

Dr. Steve B. Howell is the project scientist for NASA’s Kepler and K2 missions, developed to search for habitable planets. The goal of the Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, is to discover exoplanets—planets orbiting other stars. Kepler has discovered over 4,500 exoplanet candidates, nearly 2,000 confirmed exoplanets and several hundred exoplanets that are similar to Earth in size. The K2 mission will continue the search for exoplanets around the closest, brightest stars and provide the best scientific data sets ever obtained for many of the well-known stars and star clusters along the zodiac. Howell received his PhD in astrophysics from the University of Amsterdam and has worked in many aspects of astronomy, including instrument-building for ground and space-based telescopes, university education and public outreach.
