  • 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.

Interesting and informative

I’m really into space and this was really neat to listen to. It’s a few years old so some info has happened like the Web telescope but really enjoy this.

Very Hopeful in the Quest to Find Life

Definitely a good listen if you want to learn more about the countless worlds beyond our solar system. The search for Earth like exoplanets is in its infancy with the hope that technology and mankind's quest for knowledge will prioritize the search in the future. Hopeful but proceed with caution. intelligent life could be hostile to us.

Music spoils the podcast

I just cannot hear anything properly because of the loud music, and even if I enjoy the topic, I couldn’t keep listening, it was so unpleasant and annoying!
