A series of short, accessible books examining amazing aspects of space, brought to you by Royal Observatory Greenwich.
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought, 'is there anybody out there?' The stars you see are the suns of other solar systems, each system with its own complex story of formation and evolution, perhaps leading to an environment where life can exist. The Search for Life explores the possibility of other life in the Universe, from the prospect of ancient bacteria locked away in dried up lakebeds on Mars to the likelihood of contacting an interstellar civilisation on the far side of the galaxy. Delve into extra-terrestrial possibilities, from the first suggestions of alien life to cutting edge missions actively seeking to answer one of life's biggest questions - are we alone?

Hannah Banyard is a science communicator with a passion for making complex scientific ideas accessible and was formerly an astronomer at Royal Observatory Greenwich.
