| Summary |
Does the discovery of a new Earth-like planet hold the key to alien life? The search for extra-terrestrial life has been going for 50 years - but there's been a recent breakthrough. Are We Alone in the Universe looks at the discovery a new planet called Gliese 581 c. Gliese 581 c 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. (From the UK, in English) (Documentary) CC WS |
