We Are Aliens!

We Are Aliens tells the story of the search for life elsewhere in the universe. The show uses recent discoveries about life here on Earth as the basis for a breath-taking tour of our Solar System.

We travel alongside spacecraft as they visit planets, moons, asteroids and comets in search of the ingredients and conditions necessary for life.

The hunt continues as we peer through the eyes of space and ground-based telescopes exploring planetary systems beyond our own.

As the journey concludes we are left to marvel at the possibility that the universe is teeming with life.
