Is Alien Life Hiding in Our Solar System?

Editor's Take

A survey of the missions hunting for life within our own solar system, Mars, and the ocean moons of Jupiter and Saturn. It is a good status report on where the search actually stands, rather than where science fiction imagines it to be.

This documentary explores the search for life much closer to home, examining future missions to Mars and the intriguing moons of Jupiter and Saturn. It explains why many scientists believe evidence of alien life may be found within our own solar system in the coming decades. The film lays out where and how researchers plan to look. Fascinating and forward-looking, it makes the hunt for life feel within reach. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
