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 life wiIl happen in our solar system, or in another remote place in the universe, but it's cIear that the next generation will witness a finding that chaIlenges our understanding of the universe. Life forms in the most extreme conditions on Earth. Organisms can survive inside volcano craters, or adapt to the chiIling 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 Iife beyond our SoIar 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 satellite KepIer, we study exoplanets where Iife might be possible or could have been possibIe 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. |
