Description
This six part series tackles the big questions about the solar system, space and the universe. This episode asks are there other Earth-like worlds in the cosmos? Adam is on the island of La Palma, ...whose clear skies have made it a centre of the hunt for planets around distant stars - places where life in other solar systems might be found. Meanwhile, we learn about other worlds closer to home - the amazing expedition to Titan, one of Saturn's moons, two years ago is still yielding new results, and we visit Mark Leese at The Open University to find out more.
