The Most Likely Place to Find Aliens

Aliens are out there. But where exactly? Discover the science behind a long healthy life for your pet at hillspet.com/sciencedoesmore @hillspet #Hillspartner Since I was a kid, I had a big question: “WHERE are all the aliens?” Still, as an adult, I desperately want to be alive when we discover real extraterrestrial life! And I don’t mean the conspiracy theories, well-meaning but totally wrong science fiction. Or even “the math says there should be someone somewhere”! No. The real science. I want to know… how are we ACTUALLY going to find aliens? Because if we want to be alive when we find them… cosmically, we don’t have long! So, I reached out to one of the most important scientists in the search for intelligent life outside our solar system… and who is leading a new effort to find alien life INSIDE our solar system too… In this episode, Professor Sara Seager and I are going to show you the real science and tech behind the incredible push happening right now to actually find aliens.
