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.

Truly a great listen. I am admittedly interested in all things spacey but no means addicted/obsessed. A very insightful listen to the earth like planets beyond our solar system and much more. Fascinated from the 1st chapter, i was which grew into more fascination and excitement by the end.

Very happy thanks
