Description

For many people, the main question about extraterrestrial life is whether or not it exists. To much of the scientific community, however, that question has already been answered: It does. And it's probably within our own solar system. "The scientists who believe in extraterrestrial life are staking their careers, research funds, and prestige that they're right. Institutions are doing so as well - NASA has its Institute of Astrobiology, the University of Washington its Department of Astrobiology. Their high-stakes gamble is giving rise to a new science of life on other worlds. "The discovery of life on other planets will be one of the great turning points in human history. Life Everywhere tells why many scientists think that discovery is inevitable, and what they think we will learn from it"
