Episode Description

When looking for life beyond Earth, astrobiologists look for the telltale signatures we associate with life and organic processes here on Earth (aka. "biosignatures"). Basically, we are looking for life "life as we know it." But what about life as "we don't know it"? How do we look for that? We won't know until we find some!
