The science behind our search for aliens

 

 

Are we alone in the Universe? Is there life out there? What could it look like? How can we find it?

We humans have been wondering about the existence of other worlds since the dawn of our species. Only very recently have these questions left the realm of our imagination to enter the complex field of scientific endeavours.

 

Follow the website pages in order (from 1. Aliens in Sci-Fi to 5. Wrap up!) and at the end of this activity, you will have a very good glimpse of how astrobiologists think and work on these all-encompassing questions.

 

Come with us, we’re about to take a dive in our Search for Life in the Universe!

 

”Since one of the most wondrous and noble questions in Nature is whether there is one world or many, a question that the human mind desires to understand, it seems desirable for us to inquire about it.”

 

Albertus Magnus, 13th century
