The recipe for finding life on other planets


Quirks and Quarks17:41


In the last two decades we've discovered literally thousands of planets orbiting nearby stars. Our technology has now advanced to the point where we can investigate whether there's life on those planets. We speak to astrophysicist Lisa Kaltenegger, the founder of Cornell University's Carl Sagan Institute, about her work trying to answer that question, and her book Alien Earths: Planet Hunting in the Cosmos.
