About this listen
For decades, books, movies, television shows, and conspiracy theories have speculated about the existence of life on other planets. But how possible is it that we are alone in the universe? How likely is it we’ll find a habitable, Earth-like planet? How come we have not already seen signs of extraterrestrial life?
Join astrophysicist Sarah Rugheimer to reveal what we know about detecting life on other planets. Over 10 eye-opening lectures, she will uncover the strides we’ve made in our search for finding habitable Earth-like planets.
You’ll gain first-hand insights into how scientists search for signs of life and our latest attempts to find potential life on Mars, Venus, Europa, Titan, and other moons and planets in our solar system. As she recaps how life started on Earth, you’ll see how our evolution informs our search for detecting life on exoplanets. And, you’ll examine the current search for extraterrestrial intelligence, looking at potential responses to the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox.
Whether you have an academic investment or a general curiosity about life on other planets, this course will provide you with the most current insights into what signs of extraterrestrial life may be found.

Fabtastic
I listen to science audio books often and I have listened to a few of the great courses before, this one was by far the most entertaining.

Fantastic overview of the search for aliens with balanced viewpoints from a scientific perspective
Brilliantly compiled and read. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about where we are in our search for aliens and what the future may or may not bring.

Well Worth The Listen
I've read and watched many documentaries on the subject, and this was a great source of gathering that information into one place, as well as learning about the specific work Dr Rugheimer does in this field.
I wholeheartedy agree with the author on the putting our planet into context with the universe: it is absolutely vital that we cover the imprint, we, as humans, have on our world in relation to searching for life in the universe.
Wonderful to listen to, with interesting anecdotes, useful modern cultural references and further reading suggestions, which complimented the discussion of the subject.

Fascinating and beautifully narrated.
The topic is really interesting and it’s presented with a great deal of enthusiasm and occasional gentle humour. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would love the author/narrator to publish again.
