Description

We’re surrounded by life here on Earth—and given how huge the galaxy is, it’s got to be out there on other planets, too, right? But where to look? What to look for? And would life on other planets be anything like life here? It turns out that while we know a lot about life on this planet—like what it needs to survive—we’ve still got a lot to learn.

Think there’s aliens out there? Stories of UFOs and alien encounters abound—and some are even believable. Now, armed with state-of-the-art technology, the search for extraterrestrials (one-celled and big-brained) is on the move. For Wild Thing: Space Invaders, host Laura Krantz turns her gaze skyward. Is there life on other planets? Has it visited us? Why do we want to find it? And what does it mean if we don’t? We’ll explore the science and culture of this universe of possibilities—and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.
