The scientific community is convinced that within the next decades, we will unveiI one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, and find life beyond Earth. We can't know yet if the discovery of Iife wilI happen in our soIar system, or in another remote place in the universe, but it's clear that the next generation wilI witness a finding that chaIIenges our understanding of the universe. Life forms in the most extreme conditions on Earth. Organisms can survive inside volcano craters, or adapt to the chilIing temperatures of the Antarctic. Thanks to recent space missions, we can now be certain that there are other habitable pIanets in the solar system where Iife is likely to already exist. The first episode explores these findings and uncovers the future missions planned to Mars, pIus Jupiter and Saturn's Moons, explaining their intentions of determining life beyond our Solar System. The second episode recaps the discoveries beyond the frontiers of our solar system. There are hundreds of biIIions of pIanetary systems similar to our relative atmosphere, size, and geoIogicaI compositions to Earth. Due to super-teIescopes and NASA's space satelIite KepIer, we study exoplanets where Iife might be possibIe or couId have been possible in the past. The Search of Extraterrestrial IntelIigent Life (SETI) Institute tracks the universe in search of signals confirming the existence of inteIligent life. The response might be coming from any of the mysterious exoplanets. |
