A look at relevant scientific issues

The recent discovery by the Kepler satellite of thousands of Earth-like planets where life could be possible, has given a big boost to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). In 2011, for the first time ever, Kepler provided us with a census of the Milky Way. We can now calculate how many stars in the Milky Way could have a planet like ours: around a billion.

Humanity's race to mine asteroids and unlock boundless resources in deep space. Trailblazing companies spearhead cutting-edge engineering to potentially reshape the future.

This documentary examines breakthroughs in neuroscience and technology, imagining a future where the human brain and artificial intelligence connect.

Scientists explore whether planets, moons and exoplanets -- planets outside the solar system -- have the necessary qualities to support life.

For two and a half years we followed the scientific team of the NASA Lucy Mission a mission that will unveil the origins of the Solar System and shared with them the many challenges they had to overcome such as a countdown to launch on time the building of the huge solar arrays or a pandemic.

For more than 50 years, we’ve been unsuccessfully searching for any evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. But, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets has meant the hope of finding them is higher than ever. If any messages could eventually be decoded and answered in any far, far away star, it could radically transform our consciousness as species and our place in the universe. A message from the stars changes life on Earth… forever.
