Exoplanets: The Search for Another Earth

  • Summary

  • Technologically there's never been a better time to search for a new earth beyond our solar system.

    Professor Danielle George examines exoplanets in the so-called habitable zone. Those that have liquid water. And maybe even life.

    She wonders how we might be able to take the our first ever high resolution picture of an exoplanet using the microchips found in mobile phones. And she meets world-leading astrophysicists to ask if within our lifetimes humans might step foot on an earth-like planet.

    An ITN production for Audible Originals.

not bad, not bad at all.

I enjoyed it. Maybe they will expand on the theme and we will see part 2?

Shame

Any physicist or biologist who pretends to believe in man made global warming is a disgrace to science and humany. All solar physicists will tell you climate is driven by solar cycles, CO2 follows global warming by 600+ years and we are entering a 30 year mini ice age. Shame on you.

perfect balance of science and narrative. so interesting!
I was always interested in the topic but found the science hard to grasp. This podcast keeps you engaged in every episode.

amazing

before this I had no idea about exoplanets. it's amazing to think of the possibilities of other life..... on the other hand, life is so fragile that it is also possible that we as humans are unique.....

Exoplanets is excellent

A terrific series that covers the such brief history, informative about where we are now and anticipates what will come.
