James Green: 3 moons and a planet that could have alien life

3 moons and a planet that could have alien life

Is there life beyond Earth? Join NASA's director of planetary science James Green for a survey of the places in our solar system that are most likely to harbor alien life.

Scientists once doubted life could exist beyond Earth, but recent discoveries have transformed that view. Mars has revealed signs of ancient riverbeds and modern weeping craters filled with liquid water. Moons like Enceladus and Europa hide vast subsurface oceans, while Titan boasts methane lakes. These worlds offer the essential ingredients for life, and missions are underway to search for living evidence.
