Deborah Gulledge, a graduate student at Georgia State University, will give us an overview of Jupiter, the roles it plays in our Solar System, whether its moons could support extraterrestrial life, and an overview of her research to search for Jupiter-quakes traveling through the atmosphere.
Gulledge is preparing to spend 10 months living in the South Pole, an area that's going to be completely dark for six months. Ideal conditions, she said, for operating a telescope to observe Jupiter.

Deborah Gulledge – now a graduate student at Georgia State University – will be one of only about 1,600 people ever to spend a winter at the pole. And she might be on the first team in history to prove whether Jupiter has a solid core.

Physics senior explores passion for astronomy in Arizona, Chile
When senior APSU physics major, Deborah Gulledge is not sewing as her hobby, she is immersed into the world of astronomy and what is out there to find in space.
Gulledge said she has loved astronomy ever since she was young, and her father spoke to her about outer space and physics. She said she built her dreams from there.
