Exoplanets: Are We Alone in the Cosmos?

From scorching lava worlds to ocean planets with no continents, astronomers are uncovering an astonishing zoo of exoplanets – Planets orbiting distant stars. This documentary follows the pioneers who made the impossible possible: detecting unseen worlds through a star’s wobble, capturing transits as tiny dips in starlight, and launching Kepler to find Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone. Along the way we visit the world’s most powerful observatories in Chile and explore how direct imaging, atmospheric fingerprints, and next-generation telescopes could finally reveal what these distant planets are really like and whether life might exist beyond Earth.
