Are There Other Earths: The Odds of Life Around Nearby Stars

Scientists, wielding sensitive new telescopes and "big data" tools, have detected planets around thousands of stars; some Sun-like and some very different from our star. Many newly discovered "exoplanets" lie in "habitable zones," where liquid water may support the chemistry that enables biology. How will astronomers discover if we have company in the cosmos and where they live?

Don't know who this Narrator is, but her voice is very soothing, endearing and pleasing to listen to. Perfect, for this video.

Life will just have evolved differently from here. Life there will either cope with or utilize the radiation etc. People should not be so narrow minded to think life can only be as we know it here.

Well done guys, this was by far one of the very best documentary about the quest to find alien life..The female presenter was spot on, with a very clear, calming voice, who delighted all of us with incredible info..keep up the good work.

[DanielVerberne]

Beautiful narration and the pacing of the production is excellent for those of us who WANT to pay attention - you don't need hyperactive, 1-second cut editing, sped-up footage of zooming through New York City traffic or tons of hyper-fast CGI to keep our attention - the content itself is worth the attention.

One of the few space documentaries I've found that's actually narrated by a female. Many forms of media, especially movie trailers, have male voiceovers so this was refreshing as well as captivating. Good job!

I have no clue as to who the narrator is, but I love her voice and delivery.

[josephgrant]

That narrator's voice on the topic, "are there other earths" is enchanting. I could listen to her all day long. Kudos to you my lady.

Somebody should award me a degree in cosmology for the amount of space videos I've watched. I'm sure I could teach a class at this point.😂

Imagine how big our Univerese, i think the big problem of our scientist s is DISTANCE, it takes thousands or even million of years before the other beings detect our Signals, I hope in the very near future we can have more advance equipments to creat more powerful signals

[daveanderson]

Very informative without a whole lot of biased conclusions

Depressing and encouraging at the same time! Welll done!

[polohashim]

Such a gentle, soothing speaking voice, I feel like it will put me into sleep very soon.

Some space video is interrupting my ads. I mean, there are a LOT of ads, but they don’t go straight through. How sad.

[Nailer]

I hate all the pop up commercials that infest this video.. 8 minutes into video and already 2 commercial vids.. Kind of kills the mood to watch the video when it is infested with infomercial crap.

What a tragedy to see the iconic telescope in Puerto Rico collapse today on the news. It didn't look like it was maintained very well.

"Just 11 light years away". Yeah, "just" a journey of like 375 thousand years to get there with current technology.

[dHempfler]

Your channel is one of my greatest discoveries last time.. wish you succes and as many viewers as stars in our Galaxy :)

[M.Huling]

I love listening to this video, the narrator has a relaxing voice. I usually fall asleep right away listening to it.👍

If we see the image of the planets that are, just say, 1 million light years away, will that not mean we are seeing now what is actually maybe a million years ago on that planet, and maybe now they have life on it, but we will only see it in a million years from now. Just a thought
