Seth claims to have developed an interest in extraterrestrial life at the tender age of ten, when he first picked up a book about the Solar System. This innocent beginning eventually led to a degree in radio astronomy, and now, as Senior Astronomer, Seth is an enthusiastic participant in the Institute’s SETI observing programs.In addition, Seth is keen on outreach activities: interesting the public – and especially young people – in science in general, and astrobiology in particular. He’s co-authored a college textbook on astrobiology, and has written three trade books on SETI. In addition, he’s published more than 400 popular articles on science including regular contributions to NBC News MACH, gives many dozens of talks annually, and is the host of the SETI Institute’s weekly science radio show, “Big Picture Science."

In 2018, a groundbreaking discovery elevated a fascinating hypothesis when scientists found complex organic molecules in the water plumes bursting from Enceladus, one of Saturn’s icy moons. These molecules, essential building blocks for life, suggest that life's ingredients are potentially more widespread than we had previously thought..Imagine tiny organisms, the ultimate hitchhikers, traversing the vastness of space, enduring the cold vacuum and the fiery entry through our atmosphere, to kickstart biology on a blue speck in the universe. It's a theory that turns the origin of life into an intergalactic adventure, suggesting that we, and all life on Earth, might just be aliens after all.This case file, join the Theorists as they sling their primordial ooze and and pump the galaxy full of potential life with the scientific idea of…Panspermia
