About this listen

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.

Any physicist or biologist who pretends to believe in man made global warming is a disgrace to science and humany. All solar physicists will tell you climate is driven by solar cycles, CO2 follows global warming by 600+ years and we are entering a 30 year mini ice age. Shame on you.

before this I had no idea about exoplanets. it's amazing to think of the possibilities of other life..... on the other hand, life is so fragile that it is also possible that we as humans are unique.....

amazing
