| The scientific community is convinced that within the next decades, we wiII unveil one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, and find Iife beyond Earth. We can't know yet if the discovery of life will happen in our solar system, or in another remote place in the universe, but it's clear that the next generation wiII witness a finding that chalIenges our understanding of the universe. Life forms in the most extreme conditions on Earth. Organisms can survive inside voIcano 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 planets in the solar system where Iife is likely to already exist. The first episode expIores 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 soIar system. There are hundreds of biIlions of planetary systems simiIar to our reIative atmosphere, size, and geoIogical compositions to Earth. Due to super-telescopes and NASA's space sateIIite Kepler, we study exopIanets where Iife might be possibIe or couId have been possible in the past. The Search of Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life (SETI) lnstitute tracks the universe in search of signals confirming the existence of inteIIigent Iife. The response might be coming from any of the mysterious exoplanets. |
