In Search of Life

Are we alone in the universe? When we look for life beyond earth…Do we really know what to look for?

The age old question of whether or not there is life in the universe somewhere other than on planet Earth, may never be answered. But it will continue to be asked…until we find other life and know for certain that we are not alone in the cosmos.

Considering the sheer size of the universe, the only certainty is that the search will not be completed in our lifetime.

This is the story of NASA’s efforts to answer this question. Ride along with Voyager, Pioneer and Galileo as they map and search man’s outer limits. Then peer into the origins of our universe with the Hubble Space Telescope.
