Documentary Description
This documentary investigates one of the most controversial
questions of the past hundred years…are we alone in the universe? This
is not one those films that claims to have conclusive proof, but rather
a look at the serious science of the search for extraterrestrial life.
The search for extra-terrestrial life has been going for 50 years –
but there’s been a recent breakthrough. Astronomers have discovered a
new planet called Gliese 581 c. It is the most Earth-like planet ever
found. It orbits a star and may have habitats capable of supporting
life. NASA hopes to find 50 more Earth-like planets by the end of the
decade, all of which increases the chance that alien life has begun
elsewhere.
