THE
WORLD OUTSIDE OUR WORLD
"The Search for Life" presents a galaxy of interesting information and visuals. Actual imaging data from NASA’s Pathfinder mission will take you to Mars, which may contain water—a necessity for life—under its surface. Planets outside of our solar system, called exoplanets, will also be examined. A hundred are assumed to be in existence in the Milky Way, and we now believe that they might outnumber stars and could even harbor forms of life. So while the existence of life elsewhere is unknown, the possibility of it seems to be increasing.
