On this day in 1902, Andrew Carnegie convened our first Board of Trustees—founding Carnegie Science.

#HBDCarnegieScience

🎉 It’s #CarnegieScienceDay!

For 124 years, we’ve advanced discovery by bringing together ideas, disciplines, and people to study humanity’s biggest questions.

Because breakthroughs don't come from staying in one lane.

They're not like us! More than 6K exoplanets have been discovered—and many don’t resemble anything in our Solar System.

Carnegie astronomer Shreyas Vissapragada explores exoplanet atmospheres to uncover the clues to habitability.

The Rocks That Remember What Earth Forgot “Two of the biggest questions that our species has thought about over the years are, ‘Are we alone?’ and ‘How did we get here?’”

Leading up to #CarnegieScienceDay, we’re diving into some big questions, starting with one of the biggest—How did we get here?

Carnegie's Andrew Steele talks about the search for life on Mars & what it can tell us about life itself.

From Planets to Life - Humanity's Oldest Question Our experts reveal how our planet formed, evolved, differentiated into layers, and developed the dynamic processes that make it habitable.

Not every planet becomes a home for life. 🌍

From stellar activity to planetary chemistry and geologic history, Carnegie scientists study the forces that determine whether life can take hold.
