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!

Episode Description

Could it be that the reason humanity has found no evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence is that it is being wiped out? This is the argument of the Berserker Hypothesis, a theory popularized by science fiction but based on hard science.

Episode Description

In 1610, using a telescope of his own design and manufacture, Galileo Galilei observed the night sky. What he observed and reported would revolutionize astronomy forever! In addition to providing the first detailed observations of the Sun, Moon, and the Milky Way, he discovered Jupiter's largest moons and proved that the heliocentric model was correct.

Episode Description

In 1543, while on his deathbed, Copernicus published his magnum opus ("On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres"), which described his theory of a heliocentric Universe. This book and the astronomical model it described would forever revolutionize humanity's understanding of the Universe and our place in it.
