*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: The Celestial Movers and Shakers:  How Gas Giants Shape Planetary Systems
 <br>
*Lecturer*: Marta Bryan<br>
*Position*: Graduate Student<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
Over the past two decades thousands of planets with an extraordinary diversity of properties have been discovered orbiting nearby stars.  How such a startling array of exoplanetary systems formed and evolved remains a mystery, and has inspired the hunt for observational clues.  In this talk I will explore how new observational evidence sheds light on the important role that gas giant planets play in shaping planetary systems, and how our own Jupiter and Saturn played a starring role in the formation history of our own solar system.
