Extreme Planets

Target: General Audience

For ages, humanity has wondered whether we are alone in the Universe. Fifteen years ago we were unaware of planets outside our solar system, but today these “extrasolar” planets appear to be quite common. As the search continues, the possibility exists that one day we might find life elsewhere in the Universe, born in the light of another sun. Join us in the adventure as we explore Extreme Planets.
