Description

Is there life beyond Earth? How do we find out? Have we already found it? Life beyond Earth could soon be discovered. Everyday, we are searching for signals from deep space. Spacecraft are peering down on oceans on distant worlds and probing Mars for deep underground caverns. Take-off on a journey in search of life beyond Earth and join the adventure with the latest information on space exploration: fascinating real-life photographs of space; activities to test your knowledge; places to go to find out more; and, a glossary of new words to learn. This full-colour book offers a chance to explore beyond earth from the safety of your own home. Find out how close humans are to finding life beyond Earth, what it would mean for life on Earth, and what discoveries have been made already.
