The Search for Life's Second Genesis: Motive, Means, & Opportunity

With the recent discovery of habitable environments beyond Earth - including the subsurface oceans of icy moons in the outer Solar System - the existence of extraterrestrial life appears now both possible and realistic. Planetary scientist Alphonso Davila will describe NASA's search for evidence of a second, Earth-independent origin of life: a genuine "second genesis."

Speaker: Alphonso Davila, SETI
