Astrobiology: the new science of life in the universe
England (South East)
17. 06. 10
19:00
Astrobiology is a brand-new field of science, bringing together biologists, astronomers and planetary scientists to investigate the origins and limits of life on our planet and discover where life might exist beyond the Earth. Join Dr Lewis Dartnell on a tour of the planets and moons of our Solar System, and further afield to alien worlds orbiting distant stars, to explore one of the greatest questions ever asked: are we alone?
